Dokio Films The official page for the Dokio Films production company. Current Project: 'Lives of Roman Hampshire'

Dokio Films was founded in early May 2016 by a group of five second year History students studying at the University of Southampton. The inspiration for Dokio came from a 40-minute YouTube documentary on Roman Hampshire, produced as the ‘public outcome’ for the teams the second year group project. Upon completion of the project, the potential to expand and improve on the original documentary was r

ealised and Dokio born. Aided by the purchase of high quality sound and video recording equipment, the new documentary aims to build on further academic research and produce a documentary series of eight 10-minute episodes. This new format allows us to focus on key flashpoints during each episode, and keep the narrative tight and engaging while still conveying the key historical and archaeological evidence to our audience. It was decided that many of the original topics would still be covered in the new series, however the scripts for those scenes would be rewritten and the footage itself re-shot to best
fit the new format. New topics would also be added, as the freedom from University deadlines and syllabus topic constraints now allowed us to expand our research area further at our own pace and discretion. Nonetheless, the main historical focus of the documentary itself would remain the same. The ‘everyday lives’ of the ‘everyday people’ would remain centre stage, continuing the original project’s deviation from the ‘Great Man’ school of history.

The origins of our logo:
Dokio comes from the Latin for 'I teach, I demonstrate' or 'Docio'. This in turn derives from the Latin for lesson: 'Documentum'. As we aim to teach and educate our audience in lesser known areas of history it made perfect sense to base our logo around these key phrases.

Thus we have Anglicised our logo to 'Dokio', slightly moving away from its Latin roots. But nevertheless, still maintaining the core tenents of teaching and education in our videos that the word initially embodied in its Latin form.
