'Inside Saudi Arabia', Season 1, Episodes 3 & 4: Saudi Arabia is a land of stark contradictions. While the new Crown Prince promises sweeping reforms—granting women more rights, welcoming tourists, and diversifying the economy away from oil—the country remains ruled with an iron fist, where political dissent carries severe consequences. This documentary travels inside the kingdom, exploring the sacred core of Islam in Mecca and Medina, the poverty masked by wealth, and the silent war on the Yemen border. We hear from citizens, religious scholars, and officials caught between the absolute power of the monarchy and the ambition of Vision 2030. Is the new era a genuine step toward religious tolerance and modernity, or merely a polished facade over deep-seated repression?

'Taken', Season 1, Episode 10 & Season 3, Episodes 2, 10 & 11: This is the harrowing story of Canada's crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), focusing on four cases that expose systemic failures in law enforcement and the enduring trauma of colonial violence. We investigate the cases of Tanya Nepanak, a mother whose disappearance led to a serial killer's paid confession and a failed landfill search; Patricia Carpenter, a 14-year-old found dead under suspicious circumstances in Toronto that were not ruled a homicide; Nicole Daniels, a 16-year-old whose hypothermia death was closed despite questions about the older man she was with; and Cherylyn Johnson, whose drowning was quickly dismissed as non-suspicious despite evidence of a struggle. Through the voices of heartbroken families, experts, and survivors, this film demands accountability and seeks to dismantle the narrative that treats Indigenous lives as "disposable beings."
