Francine Strickwerda’s award-winning independent feature documentaries “Oil & Water,” and “Busting Out” were broadcast on Showtime, PBS, Netflix, and Amazon. Her films explore power, trauma and healing with stories ranging from one of the world’s worst oil disasters, to the politics of America’s breast obsession, and now, with ULTIMATE CITIZENS, immigrant kids finding belonging in America. As co-owner of Seattle creative video agency Hullabaloo, she makes strategic films for top brands and non-profits. Francine grew up a teacher’s kid and began her career in journalism as a newspaper reporter, and then as a producer at Seattle’s KCTS Public Television.
