"Terremoto y Latinos" (1995) 2'42"
Client: Telenoticias

One of a series of breaking news reports shot and edited by Michael Goldberg immediately after the devastating temblor in Kobe, Japan, and fed by satellite to South America. This story was about los desaparados, Latin Americans left homeless by the quake, and los desaparecidos, undocumented workers whose deaths went unregistered by their embassies.

"Rescue Team" (1995) 2'03"
Client: Telenoticias

Soon after the destructive Kobe earthquake, the producer, reporter, myself (camera op / editor), and the audio tech made our way there from Osaka via back roads. Journalists were permitted to sleep on the floor of a newly completed office building. We shot, edited, and fed several reports daily from SNG vans. This story was about the disorganization of authorities during the emergency. Rescue dog teams werenʼt allowed into Japan at first; then handlers were on their own to try and find locations where they might be useful. (en español / in Spanish)
