Robin J Hayes

Robin wrote the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book, LOVE FOR LIBERATION, and rose from Staff Writer to Co-Executive Producer on the forthcoming Fremantle series SANDOKAN (from the producers of TRANSFORMERS and QUEEN OF THE SOUTH). After graduating from St. George’s — an elite boarding school — and NYU, Robin joined a radical circus. She led dozens of humanitarian aid missions to rebel communities in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua. At Yale, she completed a PhD in political science, then taught about international affairs, history, and social inequality at several prestigious institutions. Robin reinvented herself as an artist by writing, directing, and producing the award-winning documentary BLACK AND CUBA — which was exhibited at dozens of film festivals, museums, and universities in the US and abroad. It currently streams on Tubi and Peacock. In addition, Robin has collaborated on acclaimed films for Netflix, Hulu, and PBS, was selected for the Women in Film Shorts Lab (funded by Google), and funded by the the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Her creative work and research have brought her to over 30 countries in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. A surfing, fine art, and fashion enthusiast who speaks Spanish and French, Robin currently lives in Venice, California.
