Sam Mayfield is a video journalist and documentary filmmaker. Her work has taken her to India, West Africa, Palestine, and Mexico. Since 2004, Mayfield has documented stories that remain largely untold in commercial media. Her video reports have been filed with Democracy Now!, Free Speech TV, PBS and other media outlets. In 2011, Mayfield traveled to Wisconsin to cover the popular uprising against legislation gutting basic worker’s rights. She stayed for seven months, covering the story as it unfolded, ultimately producing from her footage the 56-minute feature documentary film Wisconsin Rising. Wisconsin Rising is Mayfield’s second documentary. Twitter: @samayfield
