Juliana Ruhfus is an award-winning reporter and filmmaker who produces programmes with a human rights and investigative focus from around the world. For the past four years, she has been the reporter on the Al Jazeera English flagship People & Power strand. 

A frequent visitor to areas of conflict, Ruhfus’s particular ambition is to make films that explore “shades of grey” – to tell the complex personal stories behind the news headlines. Outside television, Ruhfus has worked as an expert to the UN Security Council Sanctions committee tasked with investigating violations of the arms embargo on Somalia, has consulted on investigations into the illegal arms trade and has written for newspapers.
