HUMAN is a significant milestone in ZANDLAND’s story. We’re not waiting around to be commissioned or asking for permission from gatekeepers, we’re commissioning the content we want to see ourselves and delivering it straight to the consumer.

Our new fully independent, direct-to-audience ZANDLAND Original documentary series.
Watch Episode One NowExclusive access around the world
This monthly, on-going series sees us go to the USA (Colorado, New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles), South Africa, the Central African Republic, Israel & Palestine, and Brazil. It is our most ambitious project yet, fully self-funded, made entirely internally. The series is a blue-print for documentaries of the future.
Across the series, we explore some of the most urgent and revealing questions of our time — from race, identity and belonging in post-apartheid South Africa, to the meaning of happiness with one of the world’s most remote tribes; from life under conflict in Israel and Palestine, to the search for freedom and community in a nudist retreat; from America’s prison crisis and Chicago’s gang violence, to intimacy and loneliness in Brazil’s rent-a-girlfriend industry.
With this series, we are giving audiences raw, unfiltered access to communities and conversations they’d never normally see - not to sensationalize, but to humanize in an increasingly divided global society. This is a series you’d never see on TV
