Hi, I’m Heleen Steenssens, a Belgian freelance journalist and documentary filmmaker based in Antwerp. I combine rigorous investigative reporting with visual storytelling, tackling topics from conflict and politics to education and refugee experiences. I hold a postgraduate in International Investigative Journalism and have a track record producing self-initiated projects for broadcasters, turning complex issues into accessible stories that resonate with diverse audiences.
Beyond reporting, I coordinate cross-border collaborations and manage content projects with newcomers through initiatives like Door een andere lens. I’ve worked with Scum Studios, Hart voor leren, Café Cliché and Grensverleggend. I speak Dutch and English fluently with intermediate French and beginner Spanish, and I enjoy collaborating with communities on the ground to give voice to underrepresented perspectives.
