According to the UN 2.9 billion people are not connected to the internet. Where do they get their information from?
It's easy to take valid information for granted. Lots of barriers keep people around the world from accessing it. We call this the information gap.
37% of the world population is offline: [ Ссылка ]
89% of online content is written in only 10 languages: [ Ссылка ]
750 million adults are non-literate: [ Ссылка ]
This leaves a big part of the world vulnerable to mis- and disinformation.
The way we try to remedy this is by distributing documentary films with strong human rights themes to the parts of the world that need it most.
Films can be shown anywhere there is a TV, a smartphone, or a computer. They can be translated in to any language, and understood even by non-literate people. And finally they can spark joy, empathy and understanding in the viewers.
