Audiovisual Storytelling
Check out our short documentaries below! Jump to Documentaries.
Dear viewers,
​Bringing our short documentaries to life are a deeply collaborative effort with the women we feature. We are profoundly grateful for their trust, guidance, and partnership, without which our work would not be possible.
Historically, people in the Global South have been filmed, photographed, and documented without their consent, often unaware of where their images would be shared or how they would be used. This practice has contributed to the dehumanisation of Black and Brown bodies and has perpetuated harmful, false narratives about communities in the Global South and presented them in a one dimensional way.
Consent must always be sought, respected, and revisited.
Our short documentaries represent our commitment to ensuring the women we collaborate with tell their stories in their own words and on their own terms. It is part of a broader effort to decolonise media and challenge the ways stories from marginalised communities are often framed and consumed.
We recognise that our approach is not perfect, and we are committed to continuously learning, improving, and holding ourselves accountable.
As you watch our short documentaries, we ask that you reflect on the following:
-
Avoid sensationalising or pitying our collaborators circumstances. Instead, honour their strength, dignity, and agency in navigating and challenging the injustices they face.
-
Acknowledge the long history of exploitation in visual storytelling and the responsibility we all carry to resist perpetuating these harmful patterns.
-
Recognise that storytelling is an act of solidarity, not saviorism. Our role here is not to tell their story but to leverage our platform, privileges, and positionality in Europe to support in extending the reach of their voices.

The Women of Apaa Land (2025)
Apaa Land takes us to the Apaa territory in Northern Uganda, where women are leading the fight against being forced off their land. What many have been told is just “tribal conflict” is actually a cover story. The Ugandan government, with support from UK and Chinese companies, is using conservation as an excuse to remove people from their homes. But is this really about protecting nature, or is it what lies under the land that makes Apaa such a target?
