Lucy Martens and Marjoorie Wright receive Armin T. Wegner Award 2009

Lucy Martens was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. She studied film and history in London. She completed her first feature film documentary, “Voices From Inside — Israelis Speak,” a documentary based on 16 Jewish Israeli voices of conscience, each representing a different facet of the Israeli peace movement. Moving to Berlin in 2007, she now works as a freelance camerawoman and editor, continuing her travels and work abroad. Currently, she is working on the documentary “Out of the Ashes,” the Afghan cricket team’s journey to World Cup qualification.

 Marjorie Wright was born in 1955 in Charleston, West Virginia, and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. She was educated at Brown University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Ohio State University, receiving a B.A. and later a B.F.A. at the Parsons School of Design. Marjorie worked in both the design field and in editorial before a ten-year residency in Dubai, UAE. There, she completed a short documentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where she met Lucy Martens. Over a two-year period with limited funding, together they developed “Voices From Inside — Israelis Speak.”
