Think-Film secured key influential production and impact partners, and pre-release festival appearances which provoked key early sales.

Let Them Be Naked
An audacious exploration into the presence of toxic and often harmful chemicals in the fabrics and materials used in our everyday clothing. Inspired by the film and its impact message focusing specifically on worker uniforms, and after meeting director and fashion designer Jeff Garner, in December 2024 Baroness Natalie Bennett officially called on the UK Government to insert provisions requiring them to monitor, regulate and ban harmful chemicals from clothes in a landmark new product safety law, currently under discussion. This marked the first time ever that UK policymakers debated the specific issue of toxic-free clothing as a safety concern, spotlighted it as a key topic for the next stages of the ongoing legislative process, and meaningfully positioned clothing as a vital factor for any future legislation or policy concerning chemicals, fashion sustainability and workers’ rights.#healthyuniforms

Too Close
An emotionally vulnerable documentary, Too Close has the potential to tackle the shockingly high rates of child sexual abuse in Europe by breaking down stigma and dominant cultures of victim-blaming and shame. Think-Film provided a high-level space for protagonist Andrea to address and call on EU policymakers to invest in educating communities on child sexual abuse to dismantle cultures of shame and victim-blaming, knowing this will critically break down barriers to crime reporting and justice. Positioning the film as a leading story on the issue of child victims rights opened specific distribution avenues, and demonstrated demand for a Europe-wide release.
Sorry We Missed You
In February 2020, Think-Film curated a special screening of this compelling film in the European Parliament to raise the issue of workers' rights in the context of an evolving economy. The screening gave policymakers a chance to deeply feel in a new way how families suffer at the hands of abusive corporations. MEPs reaffirmed that they would continue the fight against zero hour contracts with renewed vigour after having been inspired by both the film and by Ken Loach's personal intervention. This commitment was foundational, and led eventually to the EU's adoption of new rules for platform work in 2024.
Who I Am Not
The first-ever creative documentary telling stories of intersex people of colour invites audiences into Sharon-Rose Khumalo's and Dimakatso Sebidi's lives to empathise and learn about the experiences and challenges of living as an intersex person. Almost 2% of the world’s population are born with intersex traits, yet in identity discourse intersex is often misunderstood, misrepresented and forgotten. With this taboo-breaking film, Think-Film aimed to make intersex visible, for a world in which we can all freely and safely live as our true, authentic selves. High-level impact actions at EuroPride Valletta 2023 and in South Africa pushed for intersex inclusive education, secured around 100k social media reach, and created diverse distribution opportunities in Malta, in Ukraine with Kyiv Pride, and in South Africa via the Department of Basic Education’s TV channel. #invisiblei
The Recovery Channel
The Recovery Channel is a unique docu-fiction that exposes the prevalent use of harmful coercive practices in Norway’s psychiatric care system while drawing attention to the need for a more positive and humanistic representation of mental illness in our media and the stories we tell. With a high-level screening event parallel to the UN’s Human Rights Council Sessions, we galvanised support for Norway to adopt new World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on Mental Health - which would ultimately advance steps towards a fully human-rights-based national mental health care system, and opened doors for the film to be used in international WHO training - whereby many countries would learn from the film's demonstration of negatives and best practices.
Holy Shit
A uniquely quirky documentary, in which director-narrator Rubén Abruña navigates the scandalous world of poo and pee, and meets the innovators using everyday human waste to solve urgent challenges of food security, global warming and safe sanitation. Think-Film enhanced the film’s creative quality, established its global policy relevance, and placed it for media and main stage attention in high-visibility arenas that it would not otherwise have been able to enter - including a SX:SW side event at which Food Tank, the world's fastest growing food transformation think-tank, endorsed the film to 8k+ U.S audiences. For a topic that has yet to reach its full potential, and despite budget restraints and the film's limited distribution, our work went a long way in advancing "humanure" as a valuable resource and legitimate fertiliser.
Our Forests

Kanto
Winner of the Sarajevo Film Festival CineLink Impact Award 2023, Director Ensar Altay’s fiction feature “Kanto” is an intimate Turkish family love story, which gives audiences a glimpse into the often unseen stresses and strains of elderly family care responsibilities, especially when these are sudden and unexpected. With Western countries experiencing a trend of aging populations, Think-Film surveyed international social care experts on gaps and needs to better recognise, resource and support these often-overlooked informal carers. This brought the film to relevant international audiences across 18 territories, delivered evidence-backed policy recommendations, and shaped the film's global marketing narrative.

Into The Weeds
The personal story of a former Bay Area groundskeeper who took on Monsanto after a terminal cancer diagnosis. Think-Film leveraged the film moment and the science behind it to push forward the long campaign to ban glyphosate in the EU. While the corporate lobby was ultimately too strong on this occasion, multiple actions sparked a real "glyphosate awakening" among many stakeholders, who are now alert to its dangers and can be re-activated when future windows open to revisit the question of its continued use. Think-Film's targeted advocacy push also generated huge film support, bringing Lee's story to thousands of new audiences and creating Europe-wide distribution opportunities. #STOPGlyphosate
Seven Grams
