Michael Oswald

Hello, my name is Michael Oswald, I have been creating documentaries for 10 years. My previous films include The Princes of the Yen (2014), The Spider's Web (2017) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (2020). I make independent, investigative documentaries in a style that challenges power and encourages thinking. Despite their best efforts, some creators and some stories really do receive no support from governments, corporations, foundations and billionaires. All my films thus far fall into that category.

I aim to continue making fearless documentaries, that challenge how we think and see the world, and I’m asking for your help to do that. With your support I can devote more of my time to making documentaries and I can build a team to create better and more meaningful films.

By joining you can get early access to the documentaries, the extras and be a part of the projects as they develop. I believe in creating films that everyone can access, whatever their income level. Therefore, I will continue to make the films available online for free. If you’ve enjoyed my films in the past, and you want to contribute to future films, why not become a patron.

Producing a feature documentary can take up to two years. This is a lifelong work and I am excited and grateful to you for coming with me on this journey.
