ABOUT US

Combat Films and Research is a non-partisan political-military research center that uses photos and video images as a primary research tool. We send camera crews with regional and topical expertise throughout the world to document cultures and conflicts and package that footage and information gathered into analyses in the form of documentary films, educational materials, academic papers, articles, and lectures.

For the past ten years CFR set itself apart from other film crews by gaining access to regions of the world otherwise considered impenetrable. From Chechnya to Afghanistan Combat Films and Research strives to place itself in the right place at the right time.

HISTORY

In addition to documentary, research, and analysis, CFR continues to write and produced numerous corporate and personal histories for private businesses, university departments, high profile individuals and ordinary folk.


ANALYSIS

While truth can be considered subjective based on a skewing of the facts formulated on bias, perception and existing understanding, CFR takes great pains to digest, understand and then represent the facts revealed in all its works, sometimes challenging the conventional wisdom on topics both in and out of the public awareness.


DOCUMENTARY

Combat Films and Research has a rich history of both independent and partnered film production. With topics ranging from Chechnya to China, globalization to history and biography, we cover a broad spectrum limited only by the imagination. By combining a unique global perspective with the ability to access areas often considered unreachable or too dangerous, CFR provides a voice for stories often left behind. We focus on non-partisan, objective reporting of conflicts and stories from around the world. Our films have been featured on PBS, Channel Four U.K and CNN.
