Raymonde Provencher has been roving the world, led by her passion for international issues, for over twenty-five years. Her reporting career began in the Radio-Canada newsroom in 1973. For the next ten years, she worked on a number of TV programs at Radio-Canada and Tele-Quebec. In 1995 Raymonde and her colleagues, Patricio Henriquez and Robert Cornellier formed the production company: Macumba International. They developed Living in the City, the first major documentary series to spotlight some of the most fascinating cities in the world through citizens' personal accounts. In 2001, as part of the Extremis series-which won three Gemeaux awards-Raymonde directed documentaries on child workers in the Philippines and on the pilferage of water in Palestine. Her film War Babies, on the fate of children born to victims of wartime rape won critical acclaim and four Gemeaux awards (2003) for Best Documentary, Research, Editing and Sound, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Hot Docs! Canadian International Festival in Toronto, the Best Documentary award at the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival in Saskatchewan and the Human Rights award at the Docupolis International Documentary Festival in Barcelona, Spain. She is researching two other projects: the first about violence against women and the other, about one of the first American GIs killed in Iraq. .
