SOHEI TEAM
Cam
COWAN
Producer, Director, Cinematographer, Co-Editor
Believing that powerful movies can move the justice dial in ways conventional law and politics cannot, Cam stopped practicing law to study filmmaking and later created Sohei Productions to make documentaries focused on political and social justice issues. The Sohei were Buddhist warrior monks in feudal Japan, and Cam took this name for the production company to reflect the spirit of compassion and action.
Cam has a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
"Madagasikara" is now available on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes and other streaming services. “Opeka”, the inspiring story of the extraordinarily gifted humanitarian Father Pedro Opeka, has been screening in film festivals throughout 2020. The two films are related: the first is about survival, the second about hope.
