Celebrating 15 Years of Transforming Children’s Lives Through Film
Watch Two New Videos Featuring our Filmmakers, Subjects, and Activists
2020 is Shine Global’s 15th Anniversary and we are grateful for your support that has helped us to create moving films about many of the issues facing children and their families around the world and that inspire change.
Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to host a free screening series in 2020 celebrating 15 years of filmmaking at Shine Global. We’ve heard from Oscar-winning directors Sean and Andrea Fine, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, and we even spoke with comedian/actor John Leguizamo. It has been an absolute joy for us to host these screenings and to see Shine Global’s filmmakers and subjects reunited on screen and to hear how Shine Global’s films are being used for change.
We’ve been privileged to work with dedicated filmmakers, activists, children and families these past 15 years. They all do this because they care. They believe in social justice and understand the power of film to promote it. Hear more from some of our filmmakers in this short video:
We’re grateful to them and to you for your support. Please don’t stop now. Help us continue to inspire change. For every story Shine Global has brought you over the past 15 years, there are dozens more that need to be told. And Shine Global ensures these stories have an impact as we create compelling films, tools for community action, and the companion educational materials that will inspire the next generation of leaders.
