DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENTS…EXOTIC ADVENTURES…TESTS OF FAITH!
This dramatic book of colorful journeys is a talented filmmaker’s poignant memoir of spiritual battlegrounds, political borders, and the human soul under fire.
Over a far-ranging 50 year professional career, award-winning TV director & documentary filmmaker, Craig D. Forrest, has crisscrossed 111 countries with equal parts camera and calling.
He’s captured a rare catalogue of powerful, visual imagery: from miraculous healings across Africa, exorcisms in Argentina, war zones in Iraq, Haitian voodoo rites, tribal cults in South Africa, the open secret of Fidel’s sex trafficking in Cuba, cold mass graves in Bosnia, ethnic cleansing in Burundi, surreal Hindu ceremonies along the Ganges, and Cambodia’s horrific Killing Fields.
Craig’s reflective book offers readers a raw, revealing look at the places most tourists never see–with both the light and darkness a lens can sometimes only catch.

ROAD TO MACHU MICCHU picks up the journey where NIGHT TRAIN TO CAIRO leaves off.
Readers are propelled into the next whirlwind chapters of Craig’s life behind-the-camera and on-the-road. From grueling, dust-choked assignments deep in Africa to zigzagging across the vast landscapes of South America, each trip brought new challenges — and unexpected stories.
There were covert operations in Asia’s shadowed red-light districts, where filming had to be done in whispers and quick glances; tense returns to the simmering streets and deserts of North Africa; and hair-raising switchbacks along Europe’s twisting roads.
The adventures didn’t stop there. Back in the States, Craig found himself arm-wrestling with high-powered American ad agencies over creative vision, then pivoting to produce heavy metal and rock music videos – where the lights, volume, and egos were all turned up to eleven.
Part travelogue, part behind-the-scenes filmmaking diary, and part personal memoir, Road to Machu Picchu is a vivid ride through war zones, boardrooms, back alleys, and mountaintops — chronicling a life lived with a camera in hand and a passport never far away.
