What Are We Missing?
2026
An eight-part independent documentary series exploring the systems and issues that shape modern life, from criminal justice and healthcare to technology, climate change and more. Each episode examines a different part of the world we’ve built, guided by curiosity and a desire to better understand how these systems function and issues affect us, and how they might evolve. The series aims to create space for reflection, conversation, and a more hopeful way of thinking about the future.
Asking questions about the world we've built
Combining short-form video storytelling with clear easy-to-use facilitation guides, we developed and launched The Informed & Empowered Programme, now used in over 300 schools nationwide, to give schools a practical, engaging approach to online safety.
Alongside this, we created Parenting 101 in an Online World, a companion series supporting parents, whānau, and caregivers to confidently navigate the digital landscape with young people.
