Biography

Jonathan Stack is a multiple Emmy Award winning and two- time Academy Award® nominated documentary filmmaker. During his career Jonathan has written, produced and directed over 25 films and 50 television programs including The Farm, which was honored as Sundance Film Festival's 1998 Grand Jury Prize winner. He has distributed his films through HBO, BBC, Channel Four, Discovery Channel, A&E--among many others.

While working as an independent filmmaker he earned a reputation for his unique ability to gain access into forbidden and even dangerous worlds. His exclusives include, President Charles Taylor's farewell speech to the nation of Liberia (Liberia: An Uncivil War) and a rare interview with David Miscaivage, head of the Church of Scientology (Inside the Church of Scientology). In 2008 he produced Iron Ladies of Liberia, a film that tells the story of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first female president.

Over the years he has consistently found a way to explore difficult subject matter often in intractably dark circumstances and despair, transforming it into stories of hope and possibility that reflect his ultimate belief - that by telling positive stories one helps to create a more positive world.
