Emmy®-award winning producer and director Elisa Gambino brings her journalist's eye to capturing stories that matter. In 2022, she directed Wasteland, a CBS News docuseries for Paramount+ that examines the disastrous, and very personal, impacts of wastewater on four American communities. Just a few months after it debuted, Wasteland prompted the largest environmental justice grant in the history of New York State and won an award from the nonprofit Food and Water Watch.

Most recently, Elisa traveled to the Philippines to direct “Every Day After,” a documentary short that follows Jary, a 13-year-old orphan with a disability, and Jessa, his older sister.

Elisa made her feature-length documentary debut in 2020 with Welcome to Pine Lake. The story of a small Georgia town whose self-proclaimed progressive values hide a darker truth, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution hailed it as “a scathing indictment of the privilege of obliviousness when it comes to class and race.” She has also executive-produced a number of documentary shorts, including the Oscar®-nominated “A Love Song for Latasha” (2021), “Quilt Fever” (2019), and “Outspoken” (2019).

Neal Broffman developed his eye and his empathy as a boy in his father's darkroom, where he was mesmerized by the portraits of the Civil Rights Movement he saw appearing before him. A white outsider to the Movement, the elder Broffman taught his son that to photograph people with humility, a photographer must focus their ears and heart no less than their lens.

Neal has since devoted his life to continuing and furthering his father's philosophy, telling visual stories that explore the common threads of connection and community around the world. He spent a decade with CNN International covering wars, elections, famines, and upheaval in more than 50 countries. His 2015 feature documentary, “Help Us Find Sunil Tripathi” has been screened, streamed, and broadcast around the world and won numerous awards. In 2020, he completed the lauded feature documentary “Welcome to Pine Lake,” which is available for streaming on Paramount+.

Of all the work Neal has done, he is most proud of his extensive experience filming, editing, and producing global health stories. The courage of frontline health workers and their patients, such as those featured in this film, is a source of constant inspiration for him. Their sacrifices inform the emotional core at the heart of all his work.
