A Bizarre Night in Thailand

In 2004 I traveled to Thailand to interview expat Vietnam War veterans for a story about the upcoming Bush-Kerry presidential election. The story took me to the country’s raunchiest neighborhood during Thailand’s New Year festival—on what is notoriously one of the country’s rowdiest days of the year. I wound up in the heart of Boyz Town, the gay red-light district famous for illegal prostitution of underage boys. The interviews that day may have been about US politics, but the real story—illegal sex tourism and child prostitution—was happening right before my eyes.

I directed and produced this story for my illustrated documentary series on VICE called Correspondent Confidential. Illustrated and animated by Colleen Cox.

Investigating an Unsolved KKK Murder in the Deep South

Two young black men were found dead in a river in Mississippi. The year was 1964, and many suspected the men died at the hands of the KKK. But this was the South in the 60s—the case was never solved. Decades later, filmmaker David Ridgen returned to Mississippi with the brother of one of the victims. What they discovered there cracked open a 40-year-old cold case and changed the course of history.
