About

Commissioned by the United Nations Environment Programme, this 18-minute documentary explores the realities facing smallholder farmers in Cameroon's cocoa and palm oil industries — challenging audiences to critically examine deforestation-free supply chain policies.

From concept to final delivery, we led full production — research, scripting, filming, editing, colour, and sound — grounding the story in extensive stakeholder interviews and 14 days of on-the-ground production. Blending cinematic footage, drone work, and creative DV-camera interludes, the film balances systemic critique with deeply human storytelling, resulting in an award-winning call to action that bridges policy and lived experience.
