Staff Photojournalist and Documentary Filmmaker at Scripps News
About
Tom Clement is a Photojournalist and Filmmaker. He currently works as a staff videographer for Scripps News collaborating with reporters and producers from the Broadcast, Investigative, and Long Form teams. In this role, he also pitches, produces, and shoots, long form investigative stories that air across Scripps News platforms. Tom is currently directing and producing “Projecting Protest: Illicit Light Graffiti or protected speech?” a 22-minute documentary focusing on a new wave of activism that uses portable light projectors to broadcast protest messaging onto urban structures. From the viral 2016 projections of President Trump criticism on his Washington D.C. hotel, to White Nationalist Fascists using projections to amplify their antisemitic world view in Florida, which led to a statewide projection ban, this imposing new form of protest forces an examination of what is tolerated in the name of the First Amendment. Tom’s past work has appeared on A&E Docs, Vice News Tonight, Newsweek, Smithsonian Channel, and the Pulitzer Center.

As a result, the creation of the anti-hydro movement and the subsequent victimization of the dissenters have politicized hydropower development in Sikkim.
