Check out my new project Refugee Lives where Northwestern Medill students document the lives of refugees in three camps in Malawi, Jordan, and Namibia. I led the trip to Malawi where students reported from the Dzaleka refugee camp near Lilongwe.
Check out the short documentary “Dzaleka Dances” here:

About The Colony:
The past decade has seen Chinese economic growth explode across the world and the Chinese economic miracle seems to reach into every imaginable area of manufacturing and natural resources.
Filmmakers Brent Huffman and Xiaoli Zhou traveled to Senegal in West Africa to explore the onslaught of Chinese economic might and its impact on long-standing African traditions.
Cinematography Demo Reel for Brent E. Huffman/German Camera Productions set to Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47:3.
This includes much of my work except my NBC tornado documentaries, my prison documentary Welcome to Warren, and my recent China in Africa documentary work.
