Maryam Henein is a Canadian-born investigative journalist, activist, functional medicine consultant, filmmaker and entrepreneur. She directed the documentary Vanishing of the Bees narrated by Ellen Page.

Early life and education

Henein is a native of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She interviewed documentarian Morgan Spurlock for Penthouse,[1] and also produced documentaries for the UK’s September Films on subjects that include pimps, drug dealers and porn stars in the Los Angeles area.[2] She was also part of First Apartment, a reality show webcast in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the now-defunct website crushedplanet.com, produced by Joe and Harry Gantz of Taxicab Confessions.[3]

Following a near-fatal pedestrian versus car crash in 2002 in which she was dragged for 49 feet, broke her leg, vertebrae, and several ribs and had to have a titanium rod inserted, she researched issues of health and nutrition to help her in her recovery and became aware of colony collapse disorder.[2]

In 2015, Maryam Henein was featured as an Environmental and Wellness Advocate in the book "Going Supernova: 101 SuperAchievers".[4]
