Keep the
cameras
rolling
Zandland makes independent documentaries about the stories that matter: inside Iran, on the frontlines of culture wars, in communities most outlets never reach. Zandlanders fund that work directly.
- Members-only films and extended cuts
- Early access to new Zandland documentaries
- Behind-the-scenes from the field and the edit
- 15% off everything in the Zandland shop, plus free shipping
Why it matters
Real journalism is slow and expensive. A single film can mean months of access-building, travel, security and edit. That’s work advertising alone can’t pay for.
Zandlanders give us the independence to follow a story for as long as it takes, and to tell it properly. Every membership goes straight back into the work.

Questions
What does my membership pay for?
Reporting trips, fixers, translators, legal checks and the months of editing that go into every Zandland film. Membership lets us choose stories on their importance, not on what an algorithm or a commissioner wants.
Is there a free way to follow Zandland?
Yes. The free newsletter brings new films, dispatches from the field and behind-the-scenes from the edit to your inbox. Sign up at the top of this page. Membership adds the members-only films, extended cuts, early access and the shop discount, and is what funds the work.
How much is it?
$75/year, or £60/year in the UK, billed once a year. That’s $6.25 (or £5) a month, with no fees on top. Rather pay monthly? It’s $7.50/month (£6/month in the UK), and you can cancel any time.
What is a Founding Zandlander?
The same membership, plus a Zandland hat and T-shirt every year, for £150 a year ($195 outside the UK). Each year you get a code on your account page: choose your sizes, and the shop posts them to you free.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time from your account page. You keep your membership until the end of the year you’ve paid for, and it simply won’t renew.
How do I sign in?
No passwords. Enter your email and we’ll send you a secure sign-in link.
Is my payment secure?
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details never touch our servers.
