DRAM) and Saba. Between Uncle Iso and Co-owner and Financial Director, Andrew “Jazzy” Jasiura, they have traveled the world documenting migration patterns and protest movements from Tijuana to Hong Kong. In 2020, the duo documented the Black Lives Matter Movement in Washington, D.C. and produced the only feature length docuseries covering the uprisings titled “Free The People.”
