AHMAD EBRAHIMI
PHOTOGRAPHY - FILMMAKING - SOUND DESIGN
SUPPORT HIS CAMPAIGN TO SECURE MEDIA EQUIPMENT
Ahmad lives for the studio. Whether it is making a podcast, editing documentary film or teaching photography, Ahmad is most comfortable producing media that moves you. He’s also a talented teacher and has a heart of gold. Ahmad has been instrumental in the success of our Refocus Media labs program on Lesvos in Greece, and the media presence of one happy family refugee community center is possible because of Ahmad’s passion, dedication, humor and creative spirit.

ahmad’s recent film series “lucky vulnerables” which won a top prize at Cine15 Film Fest on Instagram, forces you to connect with the people living in Moria- the harshest refugee camp in the world. Moria Camp, on the Greek island of Lesvos, has been over capacity ever since it was created as a transit center and refugees can be stuck in the most inhumane, deplorable and life-threatening conditions imaginable for months if not years at a time.
Ahmad Ebrahimi has been documenting the conditions here because he too lives through them and knows them better than anyone. But anyone who comes here can see within 15 seconds that no one should be forced to live like this.
On a daily basis ahmad’s camera is firing. documenting the deplorable conditions of moria has become a personal mission and responsibility. the lives of those in moria, just like ahmad, are worth more than this, and through his photography he hopes to bring lasting change to a situation most in europe do not know is unfolding.
