Media

Research, turned into stories.

We don't just publish PDFs. Every finding becomes a video — documentary-style explainers, investigative journalism with data-backed narratives, and short-form content that reaches audiences think tanks never do.

What We Produce

Video journalism built on primary research

Documentary-style explainers

Long-form video that breaks down complex research — AI policy, African finance, geopolitics — into narratives that hold attention and drive impact. Based on our own white papers and data.

Investigative & expert content

Data-backed investigative pieces and expert interviews (internal and external). Short-form social content adapted from long-form research for YouTube, LinkedIn, and X.

Our content pillars align with our research: AI & Society, Emerging Market Finance, African Tech & Business, and Geopolitics & Economics. All with a visual-first, Southern lens.

Coming Soon

Video and audio from SAFE Labs

We're building our YouTube channel and distribution across LinkedIn and X. Flagship documentaries and explainers will drop as our first research pieces publish. Follow for updates.
