Interchange – James and Valerie Gray: Documenting Mission Work around the World

Play

Host Deb Kent talks with documentary filmmakers James and Valerie Gray of MissionFoto, a non-profit photography and documentary company that chronicles mission work in countries around the world, including Guatamala, Honduras, Haiti and the Ukraine. James Gray once found himself in Haiti helping to build a clinic and, unexpectedly, assembling eyeglasses too. When he witnessed the reaction of an old woman who could see clearly for the first time, James knew he had to return to the country and he did, three months later. Eventually he traded his hammer for a video camera, enlisted his wife Val’s’ assistance, and MissionFoto was born. For more information on the Grays’ work in underdeveloped countries, visit www.missionfoto.com.
