Capturing 20 years of world-changing innovation, thought leadership, and philanthropy in one film is no small task, especially when that film is for the Skoll Foundation - a private NGO with some of the greatest impact of any philanthropic foundation worldwide.
For Skoll, the number of success stories is hard to track, but in the lead-up to their 20th World Forum, they needed to create a beautiful story arc that traced the impassioned evolution of the foundation while signaling a clear path forward. But this film couldn’t simply recount history, it needed to culminate in a cinematic experience that would inspire already inspiring people sitting in a big theatre at their World Forum.
After months of filming, hours upon hours of archival editing, and travel that took our team throughout the States and abroad to Tanzania, we’re excited to present Skoll Foundation 20 Years of World-Changing.
