Maryam has more than fifteen years experience working as an investigative journalist, a documentary and television producer and professional researcher. Her credits include producing documentaries for the BBC, Discovery, Robert Greenwald and Morgan Spurlock. Most recently, she has co-directed and produced the documentary "Vanishing of the Bees."
Narrated by Oscar-nominated Ellen Page (Juno & Inception), Vanishing of the Bees follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. and features authorities like Jay Feldman of Beyond Pesticides and Food Activist and Author Michael Pollan. You can access their new trailer here.
Described by the press as "the most important film since An Inconvenient Truth," this full-length documentary explores the phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder, our current agricultural landscape and celebrates the ancient and sacred connection between humans and honeybees.
