A production company for social change. We produce high-quality investigative documentaries and provides the tools necessary for viewers to take action.
Every documentary and every web platform is a bespoke product.
The story, the design and the format are entirely customised to meet the your needs. Yet at the same time, they are not standalone creations. They feed into a greater network of solution orientated projects.
Over time, films, their supporting materials and their communities overlap. This allows for cross-pollination of ideas, technologies, solutions, experts, and all the other resources that support innovative research and solutions.
The 12.01 Project draws together a wide range of skills under one roof: film production, research, interviews, web design, animation, illustration, podcasting and music.
We have worked across Southern Africa, Latin America and Europe. Our resources and networks allow us to be extremely cost effective and deliver services quickly. We focus on existing research and solutions and define success as creating actionable outcomes.
