AVAILABLE IN
+ 45,000 LIBRARIES
Our documentaries are available in public and academic libraries through Kanopy and Alexander Street. We value our films as stewards of knowledge—stories that deserve context, clarity, and visibility. Time and again, our efforts have been met by philanthropists who share our conviction that knowledge should be accessible at the touch of a button.
From the earliest days of cinema, filmmakers have grappled with the question: how do we secure a budget, and what constitutes success? We ask a different question. What if investors became donors, and financial gain were replaced by the creation of lasting tools for learning — films that help audiences, students, and scholars deepen their understanding of the world? The answer is clear: we make films that illuminate — unapologetically built not for profit, but for understanding.
