Everything you need

Your professional multicultural media partners
for big and small projects.

Get Started

We are optimistic, dynamic visionaries. Our view is global, informed and curious with a playful but passionate edge. Visual storytellers since 2000, we create content that people relate to, content that wins awards.

We are driven to finding and sharing stories that matter from history to untold stories of significance. We maintain a broad world view and work tirelessly to honour and celebrate the wealth of history and viewpoints of our times.

Through community consultation and collaboration our visual stories are told with sensitivity, honesty and at times a good dash of humour. Our work gives voice and presence to diversity in its many forms.

We know that audiences want to be engaged and we work hard to create relatable content that audiences can connect to. When you work with us you are our partner, we collaborate with you to deliver fresh perspectives to your content in innovative and imaginative ways.

Why Documentaries produces media for broadcast on television, online and mobile. We create documentaries, video based social media campaigns, entire campaigns including on line and real world, education and health, social films, and animated explainer videos and specialise in reaching niche and Multicultural Audiences.

Through culturally appropriate and informed video and media productions including awareness campaigns for radio, TVcs and print, Why Documentaries works tirelessly to help reduce stigma, reduce barriers and provide equal access for all CALD communities in education and information regardless of subject matter.

We have often won the hardest jobs on tenders – those that needed to reach the hardest to reach communities, for example safety messaging for 18-35 year old males online, refugee communities from South Sudanese backgrounds, Women from Mandarin backgrounds 50-70 years. Our clients know that our content will speak direct to our target audiences – remember the content isn’t for you, it’s for the target audience, and it works. With 12 years experience we have developed tried and tested culturally informed and appropriate tailored productions.
