Jade Sacker

A fearless journalist, filmmaker, and photographer, Jade Sacker is driven by a mission to capture stories of conflict, displacement, and indigenous identity. From documenting the Rohingya genocide to embedding herself in the Kurdish military in Northern Syria, she unflinchingly exposes the intimate details of larger stories. Her Native American and Russian Jewish heritage has inspired Jade to foster accountability and positive change, creating a powerful impact through her storytelling. Her tenacity in the pursuit of telling such stories caught the attention of John Legend’s company Get Lifted, which executive produced her documentary, A House Divided, about two adopted brothers who find themselves on opposite sides of the political aisle amidst the chaos of the 2020 election.
