Location Brief: Photographing various Unilever manufacturing plants around the World and their surrounding neighbourhoods
Location Focus: Global Lens – Capturing the Makers Behind Unilever
Directed by Yann Jones and produced by Ogilvy and TH2NG, Who Are You, The Maker? takes a powerful look behind the scenes at Unilever’s manufacturing plants around the world. Filmed on location across Rotterdam, Mumbai, Durban, and São Paulo, the project offers a rare glimpse into the people and places that bring everyday products to life.
The film’s focus on real workers and their communities grounds the narrative in authenticity, celebrating the diverse cultures and environments that shape Unilever’s global footprint. Each location showcases not just the scale of production but the personal stories and neighborhoods connected to these sites.
This documentary-style approach, combined with Yann Jones’s keen eye for natural detail, results in a visually rich and thought-provoking piece that connects viewers with the human side of industry and manufacturing.
