About Us
Founded in March 2020 by filmmakers Yonatan Nir and Almog Gurevich, DocuNation began as a way to unite people during the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic. Today, it has grown into a thriving community, inspiring compassion and hope through the power of documentary films.
Behind DocuNation is a dedicated team of filmmakers and community builders who believe in the power of audio-visual tools as catalysts for social change and personal empowerment. Every film we share is carefully chosen to highlight the universal values that inspire connection, hope, and understanding.
With over 750,000 viewers and 130 filmmakers hosted, we continue to bring creators, audiences, and communities together to foster messages of love for humanity and nature, compassion, mutual trust, and human connection.
