Billie’s life is a series of wild tales that are mostly true. Among his many talents, he is an ordained minister of deliverance and was trained in shamanism by an old Incan medicine man from Peru. Most notably, he is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and social justice advocate. Serving two seasons as a National Geographic correspondent for the show Explorer Billie has dedicated his career to exposing criminal conspiracies running through government, raising public consciousness, and advocating for those who have no voice. His belief in the power of story to inspire policy change is a driving force in his life as a storyteller. Billie has just completed his new feature, “Portrayal” with CBC’s documentary Channel. His last film, “The Guardians” made its World Premiere at Hot Docs 18, has won multiple awards and is now screening globally and being used by all levels of law enforcement to educate others of conservatorship issues.
