Behind The Scenes with Alexander (Usher) Wiaplah is an inspirational story about how a self taught videographer from Liberia, risked his life during the Ebola Crisis in West Africa, to tell a story to the world. Not only did he tell a story with the help of an American Professor and fellow filmmaker Gregg Mitman, but this story has gained international recognition.



The film "In the Shadow of Ebola", is the gripping story of a Liberian family kept apart by the Ebola outbreak in a nation still reeling from the chaos of civil war.



Alexander Wiaplah (Ush) worked as the production manager for Liberia Broadcasting System National Television Station, the state broadcaster of Liberia, which was closed for 15 years during Liberia’s civil war. Over the last six years, Alex has been working on a series of international and national projects, which include documentaries, television shows, and music videos. Over the past two years, he has been camera operator and cinematographer on film shoots in Liberia for A Film Never Made. Alex is one of the founders and CEOs of Kreative Mindz Studio, where he has also worked as a cameraman, producer, director and an editor. In addition, he has worked for some of the top broadcast stations worldwide, including CNN, NBC News, ARD TV, and ITN Channel 4.



Gregg Mitman is an award-winning author, filmmaker, and teacher whose scholarship explores the changing relationships between people and environments over time. Trained in ecology, environmental history, and the history of science and medicine, Mitman holds a distinguished research chair at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work on the history of Firestone and biomedical research in Liberia offers an informed perspective on the Ebola crisis that has appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and on public radio. Mitman is founder and director of Madison’s popular environmental film festival, Tales from Planet Earth, and has taught environmental film production with award-winning filmmakers including Judith Helfand, Alex Rivera, and Sarita Siegel. Mitman was Executive Producer on Fire Burn Babylon, which won the Audience Award for Best Documentary, Freestyle Life Film Festival 2012; Bronze Palm Award, Mexico International Film Festival 2010; and Honorable Mention at the COMMFFEST MADA Awards, Toronto 2011. The trailer for Mitman’s new film A Film Never Made won the 2014 International FOCAL Award for the best use of archival in a short production.
