Entertaining audiences while educating and inspiring social change is the motivation for our documentaries. We've created several films with youth and about youth, including our latest film Still Longshots, which follows two generations of street kids as they meet up. Our provocative documentary, When Two Won't Do, examines the intricacies of non-monogamous relationships, and has been used in university and college classrooms around the world.
