A Documentary Narrator on the World’s Most Critical Waterway
Twenty percent of the world’s oil passes through a waterway 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. The Strait of Hormuz sits between Iran and the Oman peninsula, and whoever controls access to it holds a lever on the global economy. This piece examines why a narrow channel of water carries so much geopolitical weight.
Geopolitics and current affairs documentaries need a narrator who can deliver complex, high-stakes subject matter with authority and clarity. The best narration in this genre doesn’t editorialise — it presents the facts in a way that lets the audience feel the weight of what’s at stake.
