Director
Sami Abdou
Born in Saudi Arabia and raised in California by a single mom, Sami grew up navigating questions of identity. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara, he brought those questions into his work―first in digital media, then in documentary storytelling with MSNBC’s Vocativ and Vice, where his voice truly took shape.
