I am desperately looking for media/production (equipment floater) insurance internationally including countries with US sanctions (Sudan). PLEASE HELP! Email me with any suggestions, references, etc. Thanks!!!

UPDATE: After a lot of research, calling friends and family in the insurance business, calling other film groups like Invisible Children, I have determined that it will not be possible to purchase property insurance for my equipment. The main hang-up is the fact that I’m going to Sudan. Just like how no one would write a life insurance policy for us, they will not insure anything. (PS. No worries, we knew a long time ago we wanted to do missions, so we set up life insurance way back and we’re good!) So we’re going to have to rely on prayer and healthy savings to cover the cost of replacement when stuff is stolen and/or damaged. The environment is harsh and all of our equipment will be put to the test on a daily basis. One example: Computers and video equipment are only supposed to be stored in temperatures up to around 105F. Their operating temp limit is around 95F. Well, we’ll often times be operating at the 105F level and storing above that. Hummm, maybe I should get Apple CARE…. Think there’s an Apple store in South Sudan?
