Since 2009, we've documented the voices and movements that shape our world but rarely make headlines — from West Papua's remote highlands to Turkey's protest-filled streets.
Our films have exposed illegal logging operations, followed independence struggles, and captured civil resistance movements as they unfold. These aren't just documentaries – they're acts of witness. Our film on West Papua's independence struggle aired on BBC Newsnight. Another exposed environmental destruction across Melanesia. Each one chosen not for commercial appeal, but because these stories demand to be told.
