Hikari is a French independent press and production company whose employees are its sole partners. It recognised by ministerial decree and by the Commission Paritaire des Publications et Agences de Presse (CPPAP). Hikari was founded in 2002 by journalist and director Anthony Dufour, who wanted to offer a new model for producing reports and documentaries abroad. Equipped with one of the first digital cameras and a virtual editing station, he moved to Tokyo to open Hikari’s first office. He soon opened new offices in Asia, first in Beijing, then in Seoul. Hikari begins to weave a network of partners and collaborators around the world. In North and South America. And in Europe.
