Actuality Abroad

Actuality Abroad takes people to unfamiliar places to make documentary films about the people and issues that matter there.

Since 2010, crews of documentary filmmakers, journalists, and photographers have worked alongside local changemakers in more than 20 countries to research, film, and edit short documentaries. Over a hundred of those films live on this channel. They were made in Guatemala, Morocco, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Cambodia, Bolivia, Kenya, and elsewhere — by people who came with varying levels of experience and left with a finished film and a clearer sense of what they were doing.

The work is real. The protagonists are real. The process is harder than it looks and more worthwhile than most people expect.

The films on this channel are the evidence. Watch them, then decide.

Upcoming: July Documentary Outreach, Guatemala.
