Established in 2012 by London-based filmmaker Lindsay Knight, Human Stories works with organisations, young people, aficionados and vulnerable groups to tell their stories and project their voices. Our work has covered a wide variety of subjects including; health, faith, migration, race, radio controlled cars and perfect fried chicken. We use a range of approaches to filmmaking including; interactive workshops, participatory programmes and production training to minimise the gap between the subject and the audience, bringing testimonies to the screen in powerfully authentic ways.
