The Man Behind the Microphone

A documentary feature about Tunisian superstar Hedi Jouini.

I am working with Claire Belhassine on her feature documentary debut The Man Behind the Microphone. It’s the intensely personal story of Claire discovering the legacy of her Grandfather, a legendary Tunisian singer-songwriter whose work is known throughout the Arab world. It looks at the man, his life, his legacy, and the lives of his wife, children and grandchildren. Shot across three continents, it explores the nature of diaspora and growing up with dual heritage.

The film is currently in development.
