What Keeps Us Running

What keeps airports moving, cities dry, power grids stable, and the internet alive?

What Keeps Us Running uncovers the machines, infrastructure, people and money behind the hidden systems of modern life. Through cinematic animated documentaries, we explain how critical systems work, what happens when they fail, and the unseen work required to keep them running.

From airports, data centers and undersea cables to energy, water, waste, transport, logistics and megaprojects — look beneath the surface and discover what keeps the modern world running.
