About The Project

A portrait series rooted in authentic lives

One By One Voices is a documentary portrait series following people who refused the expected path — artists, craftspeople, wanderers, musicians, and makers from the Holy Land and beyond.

Each film is an unhurried encounter with one person’s way of living, creating, believing, and becoming.

Founded and filmed by Dan Ratsaby. Based in Israel.

“A life becomes visible when someone has the courage to live it honestly.”
— One By One Voices

Know Someone?

Nominate a voice

We are looking for people who chose differently. They do not need to be famous. They need to be real.

Artists, makers, teachers, wanderers, farmers, healers — anyone who built a life on their own terms and whose story deserves to be heard.

  • 01 They live by an inner compass, not external expectations.
  • 02 Their daily life embodies what they believe.
  • 03 Their story, told honestly, could change someone’s direction.

Thank you for sending this. We will review the information carefully and get back to you if it feels like a good fit for the project.

Collaborations

Support stories that deserve to be seen.

One By One Voices is open to thoughtful collaborations, cultural partnerships, and sponsorship opportunities with people and organizations who believe in human stories, creative life, and documentary work with depth and dignity.

Partnerships may support individual portraits, a themed series, screenings, exhibitions, or editorial collaborations connected to art, culture, place, and meaning.
