Filmmaker Matt Ogens, Fresh From Emmy Win, Reveals New Documentary Project On Love Story Of Aid Worker, War Photographer
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Matt Ogens has revealed his next project, 'Love and War,' days after winning an Emmy for the feature documentary 'Madu.'
“Filmed across conflict zones in Ukraine and Iraq, the documentary draws from hundreds of hours of personal archival and original footage, culminating in a transformative and shocking conclusion.” Madu, a Disney Original Documentary directed by Ogens, co-directed by Nigerian filmmaker Joel Kachi Benson and produced by Hunting Lane, tells the extraordinary true story of Anthony Madu, a young ballet dancer from Nigeria who became a sensation after a 44-second video of him went viral, showing him dancing barefoot in the rain in the streets of Ajangbadi. “The clip, which captured hearts around the world with more than 16 million views, led to Anthony receiving a scholarship to the prestigious Elmhurst Ballet School in the UK.”
