Everything we do exists to explore the relationships that connect us.

Relatively Speaking makes documentaries about the human relationships that shape our lives. Based in London and working across the UK and internationally, we bring more than 25 years of documentary experience to telling real stories with warmth, curiosity and honesty. Alongside our original films, we work with organisations to find and tell human stories that matter, create private documentaries for families who want to preserve the people and relationships that shaped them, and share what we’ve learned about documentary storytelling along the way.

Is there a story hiding inside your organisation?

The most compelling human stories rarely arrive neatly packaged. They’re often hiding in the people, relationships and experiences already around you.

The Human Story Audit gives you seven questions to help uncover the stories your audience might genuinely choose to watch - and spot corporate messaging wearing a human hat.
