My friend Willow made this clip during a summer in the West Bank. I’m really impressed. Makes me want to be a new media booster — with just a little bit of training and relatively inexpensive equipment, anyone can be an effective documentarian.
My name is Eamon Kircher-Allen. I'm a freelance journalist based in East Africa. I recently graduated from Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. The Long Gone Daddy is about bringing depth to the coverage of Africa and the Middle East (and sometimes, NYC, San Francisco and music -- my other favorite subjects).
