KURDISH REGIONAL GOVERNMENT
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is the official executive body of the autonomous Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq. Since 2013 we have worked alongside the creative agency All Corners, the regional government, and President Nechirvan Barzani on a huge range of content promoting social issues such as diversity, counter-extremism, environmentalism, and women’s rights.
MY FUTURE
We worked on this large-scale campaign, which saw us travel the country profiling inspirational people from all walks of life. The set of 18 documentaries were showcased across all platforms including TV and cinema.
The campaign was intended to promote positivity which each film ending with the simple message “Tell us your story” The campaign achieved the highest number of social interactions in the country’s history.

SOCIAL ISSUES
Together with the KRG we worked on several films promoting positivity and inclusion, such as celebrating strong women as part of International Women’s Day, and also on important social issues like raising awareness of environmental pollution.

Common Ground
One of the issues facing the region was people across the political divide not realising they had more in common than they thought. This large-scale social experiment featured hundreds of participants from across the country, and was designed to help highlight the similarities between a divided nation in a visual way.
GAINING INDEPENDENCE
In 2017 we worked on a series of films documenting people’s viewpoints regarding Kurdish independence from Iraq, and encouraging people to democratically vote on their future. 92% of Iraqi Kurds participating in the referendum voted in favor of independence.
