Episode 7 - Christina Lloyd - Embedding with a well-drilling crew in the bush, witnessing a girl rescued from child marriage/FGM, and producing a TV show in the mission field

Go behind the camera with our director of television, who breaks down how we produce a TV program in the mission field. It’s a balance of logistics, planning, and keeping your eye open for just the right story. Christina has been filming and producing programming for Maranatha since the early 2000’s and has experienced it all, from embedding with a well-drilling crew in the bush of Mozambique, to rescuing a Maasai girl in Kenya from female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage. 

She shares how important the producer’s role is in creating a story from scratch, knitting the components of visual footage, character interviews, and overall story arc into a final product. Christina also explains the other types of media she collects on a trip outside of the episode she’s producing, the post-production process for TV after the trip is over, and how being a part of these stories has impacted her life.

Here’s the two TV episodes of “Maranatha Mission Stories” that highlight the Kajiado Adventist School and Rescue Center in Kenya:
