Hi!

​

My name is Malak AlSayyad, I'm visual journalist and documentary filmmaker, from Cairo, Egypt. I graduated with a B.A. in Cinema & Media Studies and Media Arts & Sciences from Wellesley College, MA, and recently completed my Master's degree in the Documentary Specialization at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

​

I care about storytelling that preserves the dignity of its protagonists, ensures people's right to knowledge and shifts perspectives.  In my work, I am interested in exploring inequality, power and taboo, and the people and movements that challenge them.
