About Us

The Atlantic Film Alliance is an independent film company based in Dublin which produces innovative and accessible documentary films. We make films about subjects that would otherwise not get made and that bring a unique perspective on the subject, be it a person, place or idea. We seek out unsung heroes and we empower the viewer to form his or her own opinion.  These films are about people who do extraordinary things against all odds.
