Independent studio ZANDLAND is launching an in-house-funded original documentary series, Human<\/em>, on YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman<\/em> is a significant milestone in ZANDLAND\u2019s story,\u201d said founder Ben Zand. \u201cWe\u2019re not waiting around to be commissioned or asking for permission from gatekeepers, we\u2019re commissioning the content we want to see ourselves and delivering it straight to the consumer. With this series, we are giving audiences raw, unfiltered access to communities and conversations they\u2019d never normally see\u2014not to sensationalize, but to humanize in an increasingly divided global society. This is a series you\u2019d never see on TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hosted by Zand, the series, with new episodes dropping monthly beginning in September, will focus on extraordinary individuals or collectives as it explores broader global themes, including visiting a gang-afflicted neighborhood in Chicago, a Colorado jail and remote communities in Central Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
