Joel Marsden is a writer, producer and director who has worked on television and film projects in the United States, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

His works include the feature film Ill-Gotten Gains, about an uprising aboard an illegal American slave ship in 1869, and the feature documentary film World Vote Now, which deals with the construction of the first global democratic system.

“For the last eight years I have been actively collaborating with an international team of democracy activists with the goal of constructing the first World Vote, where every man and every woman on the planet can have an equal voice. The Democracy Video Challenge offers a great opportunity to spread our message of global democracy,” he says.
