EXECUTIVE PRODUCER / DIRECTOR / WRITER
JORDAN ALLOTT
Jordan Allott is a documentary filmmaker and founder of In Altum Productions (IAP). With over 35 countries on his filmmaking resume—from China and Syria to Nigeria and Cuba—his work explores themes ranging from international human rights and American politics to Catholic spirituality.
Jordan and IAP have produced several impactful films about persecuted groups. Notable works include Oscar’s Cuba, a feature-length documentary about Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet, a Cuban dissident and human rights advocate imprisoned by the Castro regime, and Our Last Stand, which chronicles the struggle of Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac communities to survive in their ancestral homelands in Syria and Iraq. Our Last Stand is available on Amazon Prime.
In 2019, Jordan and IAP completed Christians in the Mirror,
a 70-minute documentary focusing on the faith and persecution of Christians in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Sudan, and India. His films have screened globally, including in the parliaments of five European countries.
Most recently, Jordan and IAP produced Together, a 13-episode series for the Voice of America’s Middle East Broadcast Networks. Together high-lights American women excelling in traditionally male-dominated professions. IAP has also finished post-production on Cuba's Eternal Night, a feature-length documentary that follows five Cubans over two years as they navigate government repression, food and medicine scarcity, and the
island’s largest mass exodus.
Jordan’s work has been featured on Fox News, EWTN News, CNN International, and Univision. He has co-produced projects with the George W. Bush Institute, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the U.S. State Department, among others. His writing has appeared in National Review, The Weekly Standard, and Washington Examiner.
Born in Reading, England, Jordan holds a B.A. in Political Science, Philosophy, and Film from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and resides in McLean, Virginia.
