Neo creates educational short documentaries about topics ranging from politics, geography, media, society, and more.
Mapped
Mapped is an ongoing video series that explains historical, geopolitical, or economic topics using maps. The issues range from relevant and current events to issues that haven’t received much public attention. For example, videos were produced on the nuclear armament of North Korea, the global impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, as well as on a new port project in Iceland, and a planned green city in Malaysia.
Portraits
In this series, we take a look at the lives of people who so often dominate the news cycle. How did these politicians, scientists, athletes, artists, and more end up where they are today? And who has been left out of the news cycle despite contributing largely to our daily live?
The series will cover how careers have unfolded, what obstacles the people portrayed have overcome, and the criticism that those featured have faced.
Places
Coming soon!
This upcoming series of videos will tell the stories behind places that have been at the centre of historic events. There are countless locations worldwide that are significant because of the events that have unfolded there, or because of the symbolic meaning they represent.

The Unknown City illustrates the scope of global displacement by creating a fictional city based on real data.
