Andrés Cediel wrote and produced “Trafficked in America,” an IDA Enterprise funded project which was recently named a finalist for the Goldsmith Prize in Investigative Reporting. Previously, he wrote and produced the films “Rape in the Fields” and “Rape on the Night Shift,” which brought to light rampant sexual assault of immigrant women in the agricultural and janitorial industries. The two films, which aired in both English and Spanish, were produced at the Investigative Reporting Program (IRP) and were part of a multi-media collaboration with FRONTLINE, Univision, the Center for Investigative Reporting and KQED. The films combined to win a duPont-Columbia Journalism Award, the RFK Grand Prize for Journalism, and were nominated for four national Emmys. He has also reported on climate change, forensic science and human rights abuses. Cediel is a Professor of Visual Journalism at the University of California’s Graduate School of Journalism.
