Mette Reitzel

After sampling the world of tropical sailing and high-end commercials, Mette Reitzel found a home in documentary filmmaking, combining her background in anthropology and journalism with her photographic training to tell stories of people finding creative solutions to global challenges. Her previous film Hip Hop Hijabis, about two feminist rappers and converts to Islam, reached more than 100 countries via Al Jazeera English. She is now investigating economic inequality and climate accountability through two new features.
