Education Gives Children Tools for Tomorrow

We produce educational and informative films that share critical knowledge with communities living in conflict zones. Our goal is to ensure that those directly affected have access to the information they need most.

We develop films and media projects with a humanitarian focus, serving refugees, displaced families, survivors, and returning populations. These efforts bring attention and support to vulnerable communities in Africa and the broader developing world.

Our mission includes empowering local communities by nurturing creativity, advancing education, and encouraging business aspirations. We work closely with the people where we film to ensure our presence contributes lasting value.

When the international community declared Katanga Province in the DRC safe, The Reel Project began documenting a powerful story of return and renewal. Our goal was to encourage and inspire more than 22,000 refugees—who had endured years in a five-square-mile camp in Kampala, Zambia—to reclaim their homes and rebuild their lives. With nothing more than two handheld cameras, we captured their resilience and hope. Today, our commitment continues as we work to support children and families across Africa with the resources they need to thrive.

Our visits have shown us that in communities facing extreme poverty, it is neither possible nor extremely difficult to predict every need. Circumstances shift quickly, and urgent challenges continue to arise. This is why support is essential—to help us identify immediate and vital needs on the ground and provide the necessary supplies to meet them.

We look closely into the lives of the communities we film, seeking to understand their struggles and uncovering the needs that are often difficult to anticipate. By doing so, we ensure that support reaches where it is most urgently required.
