⚠️ A Blow Without Warning
Between 2014 and 2022, I devoted nearly a decade to creating twelve original books and compiling eleven anthologies of world literature. Alongside twenty-three talented narrators, we produced twenty-three complete audiobooks, each a true labour of love.
Due to an unforeseen issue with a distribution platform, these audiobooks were removed, and I was unable to recover the original files. While this was an unexpected setback, the manuscripts remain, and I am committed to rebuilding and reimagining these works for future readers and listeners. What was lost is deeply felt, but what was created still has a future.
I am the founder of Film for Development (FfD) —a global initiative that uses storytelling and cinema to inspire empathy, raise awareness, and drive social change.
As the initiator of this global petition, I invite you to support A Call for a Borderless World—a movement urging humanity to transcend division and work together for a compassionate, sustainable future.
