Joe Wilson was born in the small town of Oil City, Pennsylvania, but has spent most of his life working on human rights issues around the globe. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional organizing and advocacy, he grabbed a camera with hopes of reaching broader audiences with stories that would inform and compel people to act. His short films on social issues have won numerous prizes including winner of the Videomaker National Documentary Challenge. He was awarded a DFP grant for Out In The Silence, his first feature documentary, in 2008.
