The
Story Lab

We believe stories are the most powerful tool we have to bridge the gap between local knowledge and global action. The Story Lab is our commitment to ethical storytelling, where we partner with communities to co-create films that honor their expertise and amplify their voices. Our work takes two primary forms: deep-dive documentary series and rapid-response micro-stories.

Roots and Algorithms

Who gets to decide what counts as "science" or "technology"? For centuries, the story has been written by just a few voices, often overlooking the brilliant systems of knowledge developed around the world. Roots & Algorithms is our journey to explore these perspectives. We're not here to "validate" this knowledge. It already has immense value. We are here to listen, learn and challenge our own ideas of what innovation truly looks like. The series shows how these foundational technologies and modern science aren't opposites, but powerful allies.

How can tech help?

The tech world is full of "solutions". But what problems are they actually solving? This series is our ongoing journey to explore how community-led projects use technology on their own terms. We look beyond the hype to understand what is genuinely useful on the ground, and discover the true potential of technology when it's placed in the hands of the people on the front lines of conservation.
