Pull the Thread: The Wild Life
Luminary, May 2024
Executive-produced by Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Peter Nelson, and Maggie Gilbride of DreamCrew season one of Pull The Thread—The Wild Life—goes inside the international undercover operation to take down notorious wildlife trafficker, Moazu Kromah, while illuminating the dark and tangled web of the illegal wildlife trade. The eight-part series is hosted by the UK-based, award-winning investigative journalist Runako Celina, known for her hard-hitting documentary “Racism for Sale.”
BBC Radio 4, July 2022
We track down a Chinese film maker in Malawi who used local children to film personalised greeting videos, some of which included racist content. These videos were sold on Chinese media and internet platforms – with the communities in Malawi none the wiser about the purpose of the content. Runako Celina reflects on how the attitudes she encountered on this investigation were reminiscent of her own experience as a black woman living in Beijing.
Each episode, The Black Livity China Podcast brings together lesser-heard voices, to give you real, on-the-ground insights humanising the topics at the heart of the Africa-China and wider Black diaspora-China headlines. Through personal anecdotes and community insights, we document and demystify African and Afro-diasporic experiences both in China and in relation to China, adding a much-needed human element to the Africa-China, Black-China story.
