Andrew Tkach has produced long form television programs for more than 30 years, most recently as executive producer of the documentary series Voices from the Roof of the World, directed by filmmakers from Central and South Asia. The award-winning series examines climate change in the world's highest mountains. Previously he ran a similar project in East Africa called Giving Nature a Voice. Tkach has directed 2 feature-length documentaries in Ukraine including Generation Maidan: A Year of Revolution and War and Hunger for Truth about Stalin's genocidal famine. Tkach also produced a documentary on how climate change was affecting the last dog sled hunters of Greenland and an expose of child miners in the West African gold industry for NBC. In 2013 he interviewed the Chinese dissident artists Ai Wei Wei in Beijing, just days before his arrest for a doc examining Chinese internet censorship. Prior to forming his own company, Messy Moment Media, Tkach was the principal long form producer of Christiane Amanpour for both CNN and CBS 60 Minutes, winning multiple Emmy’s for their work. His groundbreaking documentary for ABC Of Human Bondage: Slavery Today won the Dupont, Emmy and Overseas Press Club award. He was also on the original team of CBS News 48 Hours.
