Joe Hill is a 5x Emmy-Award winning director and producer best known for his work on the VICE News international team. For seven years, he reported from the front lines of the most unseen and under reported conflicts.
He was the one riding around in an ambulance during the first weeks of COVID. His team was the first to film mutinous soldiers in Burkina Faso in their fight against the Islamic State group after they overthrew their government in a coup-d'etat. His embed with a hostage negotiator exposed the moral grey zone in the kidnap-for-ransom industry in Nigeria, and his investigation into police impunity in Indonesia uncovered the inner workings of a brigade whose tactics killed scores of civilians. He has made films in dozens of countries and published them on platforms such as HBO, Showtime, Hulu and VICE TV. His videos amassed over 36-million views on YouTube alone.
