Stories Worth Crossing For

An independent Canadian media company reporting on the world, built on journalism and made with the craft of cinema.

Where we report

Based in Canada. Built to report across borders

Unseen Borders is built to follow important stories wherever they lead. Canada is where we begin, not where our ambition ends.

We go to communities rarely seen on our screens, to places known only through headlines, and to people whose lives are usually explained by others instead of being heard in their own words.

What we do

Reporting, documentary, cinema

All services
01

International Reporting

The core of the company. Field reporting from the place itself, filed in Arabic and English.

02

Documentary Storytelling and Production

Feature and short documentaries, from the first research call through shooting, edit and delivery.

03

Investigative and Field Journalism

Records, documents and people on the ground. We follow a question until it has an answer we can evidence.

04

Politics and Public Affairs

Elections, policy and institutions, reported through the people those decisions land on.

05

Culture, Communities and Human Stories

Identity, migration and daily life, reported without turning people into a backdrop.

06

Cinematic Production

Cinema camera, location sound and a restrained grade, so the image stays honest.

How we work

Closer to the story than a desk allows

The place, not the studio
Go there

The place, not the studio

We report from where the story is happening, for as long as the story needs.

People speak for themselves
Ask better questions

People speak for themselves

Interviews in the contributor's own language, quoted at length rather than trimmed to a line.

Beyond the headline
Give context

Beyond the headline

Trusted local journalists and researchers when a story needs them, and reporting that explains why.

Editorial scope

Politics, conflict, culture and the people inside them

Current critical politics Public affairs Major international developments Investigative stories Social issues Conflict Culture and identity Communities Human stories behind major events Misconceptions and stereotypes about countries and regions

Every one of these is held to the same editorial standard: verify before publishing, name what could not be confirmed, and let people speak for themselves.
