Human x Nature Project
The Human x Nature Project is a global storytelling journey
that celebrates the beauty of human potential and resilience through radical listening.
What We Do
+
We question, explore, and uncover the stories that matter.
+
We work with directors and production teams worldwide to craft films that gently interrogate the complexity of our human experience.
+
We shine a light on communities living close to what matters — portraying values of balance, reciprocity, and care that the wider world can learn from.
+
We celebrate the biodiversity of humanity — the diversity of voices, cultures, and perspectives that, like ecosystems, make us more resilient.

Our Vision
This is more than a documentary project — it is a vision to uplift
and empower the human spirit amidst the challenges of a changing world.
By honoring diversity, we reveal the threads that weave us together — threads that make us stronger than any one of us could be alone.
Through radical listening, we plant seeds of hope and remind ourselves of our capacity to adapt, to grow, and to redefine how we live with one another and with our greatest mentor: Nature.
RADICAL LISTENING | HUMAN POTENTIAL | SHARED RESILIENCE
Why This Matters
In a world that often feels fragmented, noisy, and divided, we believe there is one practice that can bring us back to one another: radical listening. Listening is not passive. It is the most human act of connection.
When we pause, observe, and listen — to each other, to ourselves, and to Nature — we discover the potential within us all.
The Invitation
The Human x Nature Project is both a mirror and a bridge.
A mirror to reflect the resilience of the human spirit.
A bridge to connect us more deeply — to each other, to community, and to the living world that sustains us.
Join us on this journey of listening, learning, and celebrating the potential that makes us most human.
Together, we can rediscover the values that matter, and redefine how we
interact with Nature, with one another, and with ourselves.
To date we have collaborated with over 70 people,
from 12 nationalities.
