Solar Impulse: Flight For The Future

Documentary for History Channel & Swiss Re

A series of short documentaries following the incredible journey of Solar Impulse, the first ever solar-powered flight around the world.

We worked with the A&E Network, Solar Impulse and Swiss Re to create this series of short documentaries that aired during commercial air time on the History Channel.

With the advertiser being Swiss Re and a re-insurer, each episode represented a different risk that the Solar Impulse team faced as they attempted to be the first team to fly a plane around the round using only the sun as power.

East City Films created seven 2minute documentaries which covered risks such as the weather, human error and the point of no return.

The series won Best International Campaign at the Swiss Sponsorship Awards.

The full series of documentaries can be seen here.
