Shine Global is a Production Company Finalist for the 2022 SIMA Awards

We are honored to announce that Shine Global is a Production Company finalist for the 10th Annual Social Impact Media Awards (SIMA 2022).

The annual awards program was founded in 2012 by award-winning documentary filmmaker and human rights activist, Daniela Konto to support and champion excellence in social impact filmmaking and amplify the power of media to foster a world that is free from prejudice, discrimination, and oppression.

From SIMA: “SIMA 2022 finalists are unapologetic in bringing us face-to-face with the daunting reality we are up against—systemic political, economic and cultural oppression in the midst of a global pandemic and ecological crisis—that they don’t just courageously expose, but capture through a most powerful lens, a lens that reminds us of our capacity to resist. The intimacy of this year’s filmmaking takes us to the heart of where that resistance happens, through the eyes of protagonists who lead their movements for justice and accountability with such infectious drive and vulnerability that continued action is bound to follow. Thank you to all the filmmakers for your courage to tell  these stories. We are honored to support and amplify your work.” 

Shine Global is a finalist in the Production Company category for “companies with a demonstrated track record of producing social impact media.”
As a non-profit media company, Shine Global produces inspiring films and compelling content about children and their families. Through tailored distribution and outreach, we connect with our audiences in communities, classrooms, museums, and on capitol hill as part of a powerful engagement campaign to encourage social change.
