From fair trade record labels to local multimedia messages, these social business documentaries include one of the most recent to older examples. The most recent, which actually hasn't come out yet in full, is a film called Real Value, created by Nothing Underground. The team currently has a KickStarter in an effort to get the most reach possibile. Here, the world of film and social business directly intersect as the film explores the pros and cons of social business and the triple bottom line as a model to be able to scale and replicate itself.
Other examples of social business documentaries in this top list include filmmakers themselves that are a social business, for example, the Community Film Unit, which creates documentaries for other enterprises to tell their stories in a greater capacity.
