General Information
Sapiens Productions is an eco-documentary film production company specialised in the Middle East and environmental issues such as climate change, water shortage and sustainable development. We produce TV documentaries for channels such as BBC World and Al Jazeera International. We also work for non-profit organisations such as Save the Children and Television trust for the Environment. Most recently we have worked on a film for the EU-MEDA water programme based in Amman. We regularly work with media partners in Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt.
Mission and Objectives
Our mission is to tell environmental stories of sustainable development from a human perspective regardless of religion, politics and nationality. Our films feature the voices of the grassroots and the people most affected by problems like water shortage, floods and climate change. In our subjects we always look for a way how people can cooperate and create ecopeace though common environmental interests. We focus especially on the Middle East.
Main Projects / Activities
We produce eco-documentaries for television broadcast and in the process try to create media platform and outlets for local filmmakers.
