Miles Roston was born and raised in New York City, all the way through college at Columbia University with a degree in anthropology.  The last five years in particular have witnessed him travelling and living extensively around the world, working on the issue of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.  His own frustrations with all the surrounding issues, poverty, family and community breakdowns, and others, led him to seek out the people in Making A World of Difference, to see what can be effectively done to make a world of difference.

Miles has filmed extensively in Africa, as well as the US, Asia, and Europe. His films have depicted the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the impact of the religious right in America or interreligious cooperation in Sierra Leone.  He has also done dramatic work, including an animated and live action children’s series and worked as a musician and producer with such artists as Junior Wells, Mick Taylor, Al Green, and Martha Davis. He has won prizes for his work including an Emmy nomination, working with broadcasters worldwide. His first book, Kevin’s Questions, was the journey of one boy orphaned in Kenya who is now at university in Australia, with a foreword by Desmond Tutu.
