Chelo Alvarez-Stehle is a Spanish and American journalist and documentary filmmaker. In Japan, she worked as managing editor for International Press En Español weekly and as Tokyo correspondent for El Mundo daily. As a documentary filmmaker she is best known for Sands of Silence (Arenas de Silencio) [es], winner of the 59th Southern California Journalism Awards by the Los Angeles Press Club for Best Feature Documentary.

She was the recipient of the "Equality Award Teresa León Goyri - City of Logroño 2022" [1] highlighting the vital and professional career of Alvarez-Stehle as journalist, writer, filmmaker and women's rights advocate and, especially, her fight against sexual violence and trafficking. The award of the City of Logroño bears the name of the Spanish politician, writer and activist of the Generation of '27, María Teresa León Goyri, one of the so-called "Hatless Women," as a tribute and recognition of her social commitment and her literary work.

On June 30, 2023, she received the "2022 Human Rights Award" granted by the Observatory for Human Rights of the Government of La Rioja[2] for her life and professional career as a journalist, writer, filmmaker and activist in defense of human rights and women's rights; for the national and international projection of her fight against racism, sexual violence and trafficking; and for her continued work to contribute to guarantee human rights from culture and journalism. Her reports on child trafficking from Nepal to India for the magazine Planeta Humano in the documentary film 'Niñas de Hojalata' (Tin Girls) or for the feature documentary 'Arenas de Silencio' (Sands of Silence) stand out.[3]

In 2016, she produced her first feature-length documentary, Sands of Silence: Waves of Courage, a film that addresses the full spectrum of sexual violence, from child sexual abuse and priest abuse to sexual assault and sex trafficking. The film was executive produced by her husband Mark Stehle and by philanthropist and author Deirdre Roney. The film's team of editors includes Academy Award-winner Kate Amend. It received multiple awards in the Americas and Europe. Alvarez-Stehle has presented it at over 25 film festivals across continents, at multiple universities such as Oxford and Yale, at Bar Associations in the US and Europe, at women's organizations, and in prisons to sexual violence offenders.[17][18][19]

Alvarez-Stehle's 2017 documentary about sex trafficking and exploitation, Sands of Silence, was her first feature-length film.[20] In 2018, the Los Angeles Press Club held a screening and Q&A of the film moderated by Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times.[21]
