Quested—previously did films on the Afghanistan war (partnering with a guy who wrote a book on the US Army 173rd Airborne), Russian opposition groups, ISIS in Syria, and caravans in Mexico—who does he work for?

One of Quested’s previous film partners:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hetherington

Hetherington’s first job was that of a trainee at The Big Issue, in London.[7][13] He was their sole staff photographer,[13] photographing homeless shelters, demonstrations, dockers’ strikes, boxing gyms, celebrities, etc.[7] He was not fond of his celebrity assignments, wanting to focus on what he believed to be more serious stories.[7] He spent much of the next decade in West Africa, documenting political upheaval and its effects on daily life in Liberia, Sierra Leone,[14] Nigeria, and other countries. Hetherington worked as a photographer on the films Liberia: An Uncivil War[15] (2004) and The Devil Came on Horseback[16] (2007). In 2006, Hetherington took a break from image-making to work as an investigator for the United Nations Security Council’s Liberia Sanctions Committee.[17]

Hetherington made several trips to Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008 with writer Sebastian Junger, on assignment for Vanity Fair. They were embedded with a single U.S. Army platoon (Second Platoon, B Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team) serving at a remote outpost in the Korengal Valley. They filmed the 2010 documentary film Restrepo there,[18] and Afghanistan – The Other War, which was broadcast on ABC News’s Nightline programme. Hetherington’s book Infidel is based on the same platoon. . .

Hetherington was in a romantic relationship with Idil Ibrahim until he was killed during the Libyan Civil War.[32]. . .
