In 2005, Karim launched an independent film company currently producing a film on Ibn Battutah, a colorful, but forgotten 14th century Moroccan adventurer. His latest documentary, 'War Child', chronicles the life story of Emmanuel Jal, former South Sudanese child soldier turned international hip-hop sensation. He is also working on the documentary 'Kidnapped', which is based on real-life events about his family's kidnapping during a vacation gone awry in the South of Yemen three years ago. He started his career at Time Warner's international policy office working with the company's Warner Brothers, HBO, Fortune, and Turner divisions.
