One-hour prestige television drama
What begins as procedure becomes a reckoning.
Each episode is built around a refugee case—a high-stakes interview where truth, trauma, and U.S. law collide. But the series’ heartbeat is the officers themselves: civil servants carrying the weight of impossible decisions—until one officer’s buried past turns her from adjudicator to applicant.
Limited series
Consensus is a ten-episode limited series—a haunting, absurd, and defiantly hopeful refugee survival thriller that collides Bitcoin, bureaucracy, brotherhood, and grief in the shadow of America's longest war.
After the Abbey Gate bombing derails his evacuation from Kabul, a Hazara interpreter who once saved an American soldier's life must rely on Bitcoin and hawala, the ancient trust-based system, to escape Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Across the world, the former U.S. soldier who owes him his life rallies a crew of Miami crypto misfits to help bring him to America.
