Christopher made his first forays into filmmaking in 2018, and has since co-directed two 25-minute documentaries for Al Jazeeraa’s “Witness” series: “South Africa’s Reluctant Vigilante” and “South Africa’s Deadly Politics.” His solo directorial debut, “The Race,” was released in early 2019 as part of BBC Africa’s series on African masculinity. He has also produced and co-directed short films for Mongabay, TRAFFIC, and the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.
