“Milena Kaneva talks about her firsthand experience in gathering testimonies of slave labour, rape and the female genital mutilation. With her chameleon like capacity to transform from actress, to journalist, producer and director, camerawoman and editor- she inspires young people to try and achieve what seems “impossible”
Bulgarian born Milena Kaneva studied acting at the Sofia Theater and Film Academy. She moved to Italy in 1987, before the fall of the Berlin wall and began a career as a journalist and producer with the news agency WTN, later APTN. The documentary Total Denial was written, produced and shot by her, the result of six years of hard work in the jungles of Burma and the US Courts. It won her the Vaclav Havel Human Rights award in 2006 and has been shown in more than 50 festivals around the world. She is producing and directing her latest documentary “Freedom from Fear” about the non violent fight for democracy of the Buddhist monks and the Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. She created the "Freedom from Fear" foundation for global outreach of human rights causes around the world with a special focus on Burma.
