Selected Work
Pave the Road
Pave the Road is a deeply personal and investigative documentary that follows Kelly Mason and her children over a decade-long journey confronting environmental injustice and systemic corruption.
What begins as a family’s effort to protect their children from toxic pollution in Costa Rica evolves into a nationwide movement. Through intimate footage and sustained advocacy, the film documents the mobilization of thousands of citizens, the passage of groundbreaking environmental legislation, and the arrest of 72 corrupt officials.
Pave the Road stands as an example of how documentary storytelling can intersect with policy, public accountability, and real-world change.
