Peacecamp ’89 – Youth exchange Northern Ireland

Summer ’89. My very first docu-style report

In 1989, I participated in a Dutch-Northern Irish peace exchange and co-hosted my first video report. Shot on a rented Sony Betacam SP kit — the broadcast gold standard of its day, edited on tape, this 23-minute piece piqued my fascination with cross-cultural encounters. The footage is archived due to music rights. Curators, educators, or funders interested in social-documentary roots may request a private screener.

This film meant the start of my career, I was asked to do the voice-over and for the first time I had the chance to look and participate in an editing room.
