What we make
Journalism is the core of the company. Everything else here is built on top of it. Most projects use more than one. Our journalistic standards apply to all of it.
International Reporting
Reporting from the places headlines summarise and rarely explain.
This is the core of the company. We plan the trip, secure the permissions, work with trusted local journalists and fixers, and come back with material that stands up to scrutiny. Every claim is sourced. Every name is checked.
Documentary Storytelling and Production
Long form built on months of research, not a shoot list.
Feature and short documentaries from the first research call to final delivery. We develop the story with the people in it, film over time, and cut for a room that watches to the end.
Investigative and Field Journalism
Go to the place being discussed, not to a studio to discuss it.
Records, documents and people on the ground. We follow a question until it has an answer we can evidence, and we say plainly what we found and what we could not confirm.
Politics and Public Affairs
Politics explained by the people it lands on.
Current critical political stories, policy, institutions and major international developments, covered with the debate and then the consequences. We go and find out what a decision changed for people who never appear in it.
Culture, Communities and Human Stories
The human story behind the event, not the b-roll around it.
Identity, migration, daily life and the misconceptions attached to whole countries and regions. We report communities as they are, with the people in them speaking for themselves.
Cinematic Production
Real places, real light, filmed like it matters.
Craft is how a viewer decides whether to trust you. We shoot on cinema glass, record sound properly, and grade with restraint so the image stays honest. Available to partners as branded documentary work, clearly labelled and editorially bounded.
One story, two languages, equal weight
Translation is editorial work, not a last step. Arabic and English versions are written and cut together, so a phrase carries the same weight in both and nothing is softened in the move. Subtitles, captions, right to left graphics and platform versioning are handled in house.
How a project runs

Reading, calls and a written case for why this story now.
Access
Contributors, permissions, local partners, risk assessment, budget.
Field
Small crew, long enough on the ground to earn the material.
Delivery
Edit, grade, mix, both language versions, files where you need them.
