Walk The Doc is an international film festival initiated by Walkabout Asia that brings together documentary filmmakers, environmentalist, travellers and content creators who recognize the importance and impact of our environment to our future world development.

The annual event offers an ideal setting for documentary filmmakers to premier new work and talent as well as developing lasting relationships among industry players.

2024 marked the third year of Walk The Doc, held at the historic Stadium Merdeka.

Thank you for joining us, to be inspired, educated and moved by the power of documentary film.

Small Story Big Impact (SSBI) is an incubator programme to boost the creation of factual content and documentaries of nature, environment, culture, heritage and people.

The programme aims to develop talents and encourage content creators to engage with their surroundings and capture the many untold stories around their community.

Each year, around 8 – 10 selected filmmakers will receive a grant and mentorship to produce a short documentary according to a specific chosen theme. 

In 2024, the theme was Kuala Lumpur Old Charm, with stories from around downtown Kuala Lumpur. All SSBI documentaries premiered and were judged at the annual Walk The Doc Festival.
