Through the land
Walk With the Story
This video is a demo for Through the Land, a new visual series that offers an immersive way to engage with the land of Israel and its stories. In this episode, we walk through the rugged terrain of the Dead Sea with Dr. Yael Kiro, who has studied the region for 20 years, to examine the dramatic drop in water levels and its consequences.
ABOUT THE PROject
Through the Land
Filmed in motion. Rooted in place.
Through the Land is a cinematic, drone-filmed documentary web series that captures real conversations outdoors, in motion, with the people shaping Israel today.
Each episode features in-depth “walk and talks” with leading experts, filmed in Israel’s most stunning and iconic locations.
Think of it as a podcast meets visual storytelling: no studio, no scripts, just expert insights unfolding across landscapes that matter.
More than a tour of the land, these conversations will be a deep dive into the issues dominating the country today.
With state-of-the-art drone cinematography, in a first of its kind format we are using cutting edge technology to create visually striking and thought-provoking content.
By delivering dynamic, on-the-move conversations,
every episode of Through the Land invites audiences, whether casually curious or deeply invested, to grapple with the complexities of the modern State of Israel.
