Daphne Tolis
Greece
I am a journalist and documentary producer & filmmaker based in Athens.
During this time I have reported from Greece and many other countries, as far afield as Bangladesh and Lebanon. Beyond my own documentary projects, I frequently work as a freelance producer in Greece for large European and American television networks, including the ABC, BBC, VICE on HBO, NPR, PBS, Deutsche Welle, ZDF and SRF. My work with these organisations involves setting up shoots, researching, using my contacts to gain access to key voices in Greece and around the Mediterranean, and field producing the shoots themselves. I have also worked as a local journalist assisting leading newspapers from around the world with feature stories in Greece.
I have reported extensively on the refugee crisis as a documentary filmmaker, video journalist, photographer and field producer. I have visited many refugee camps and settlements across Greece. While following refugee flows, I have travelled to camps in Turkey, North Macedonia, Serbia, Italy, Lebanon, France and Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh. I have won two Migration Media Awards for my reporting in this area, for stories I produced as a freelancer with colleagues from the BBC and VICE, respectively.
