Docudrama
This highly effective communications style allows us to combine the immediacy of journalistic reportage with the stirring poignancy of drama. Outstanding examples include Stronger than Guns filmed in Mexico, Peru, Colombia exposing the terrible abuse of human rights; and, more recently, Inside Out, a powerful production produced to educate about the dangers of knife crime.
Kharis Productions’ expertise in this style of programming offers a high impact result.
