The end of the film is where our story starts. We bring completed social issue films to the audiences who can truly profit from them. Our work provides the support and framework for those stories to trigger long-term and meaningful change.

Here the film-makers and films that have driven our projects so far.

#MyEscape

Elke Sasse's films concentrate on people from all walks of life - she takes to the road with binmen and septic pipe cleaners, ethnic Germans from Russia, refugees and contract workers. Her films have documented the everyday lives of garlic growers in China, Berbers in East Germany, wedding musicians in New York and dancing senior citizens in Berlin. #MyEscape documents the journey of refugees risking their lives to reach Germany, depicted entirely from their own mobile footage.
