I love how storytelling is used in documentaries, don’t you? Documentaries offer insights into hidden worlds that we might not usually seek out ourselves.

Actress, Susan Sarandon said, “Storytelling is what makes us human, it is our common currency and as such can be a powerful tool for positive change. Compelling narratives have the ability to bring us together, to galvanise us into action.

People are attracted to real stories because we are social creatures and we relate to other people.

• Stories spark emotions
• People use stories to make sense of things
• People learn from stories

Webisodes are a series of mini-documentaries that allow you to provide additional content and create a journey of discovery for your audience.

When we worked with Nokia India on a documentary film about the importance of reuse, reduce, recycle to help combat the rapid pace of growing technology, we were impressed to see how each of the students took responsibility for researching the issue and sharing their knowledge and actions with others. It also showed us what effect electronic waste is having on the developing world, which in turn impacts all of us.

Throughout my career I have seen how stories can enchant, engage, and motivate us to ask questions of ourselves and the world around us. To say that stories can change the world isn’t anything new but to reflect on the profound power of a story well told never fails to amaze me.
