Linus Unah is a Nigerian producer, journalist and emerging documentary filmmaker. He previously worked as an independent journalist for six years and produced multimedia stories on wildlife conservation, development, global health, and conflict for Mongabay, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, National Public Radio, Devex, The Christian Science Monitor, and several others. His predilection for documentary film grew out of his role at San Francisco-based WildAid, an international environmental charity, where he assisted in producing environmental TV series and shortform videos on the illegal wildlife trade and local conservation projects.  In 2018, Unah won the Future Awards Africa 2018 Prize for Journalism. And in May 2023, he completed his first short documentary, “Split Jury,” for his master’s thesis in the documentary program at the University of California, Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism.
