FORM OF A DONATION.
SOME VOICES ARE TOO IMPORTANT TO ONLY HEAR ONCE. THE VOICE OF YOUTH
IS RISING UP AROUND THE WORLD AND THEIR MESSAGE IS CLEAR: WHEN WE
GAMBLE WITH CLIMATE CHANGE WE GAMBLE WITH THEIR FUTURE. THIS PROJECT
IS DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE THEIR VOICES CONTINUE TO BE HEARD.
THE YOUTH
The YOUTH OF THE WORLD ARE STANDING UP TO FIGHT FOR THEIR FUTURE.
We've seen the impact they're having on gun control. Sadly that's not
the only issue that YOUTH ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE THE LEAD ON. When
adults refuse to lead responsibly, the YOUTH HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO
RISE UP.
-------------------------
THE MOVIE
-------------------------
"Youth Unstoppable" is a documentary that takes us inside the rise of
the global YOUTH CLIMATE MOVEMENT. Young people are shut out of the
decision making process that is shaping the world they will live in.
Slater Jewell-Kemker, who was 15 when she began the film, has been
striving to give them a voice.
Ten years ago Slater started making what she thought would be a short
document of her trip to Japan as a part of a youth delegation to a
climate summit. But when she met kids who told her about flooding in
Bangladesh, forest fires in Australia and drought in Nepal she was
driven to continue. That trip to Japan blossomed into a ten-year
journey all around the world.
-------------------------
GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE A VOICE
-------------------------
As the movie is entering it's festival run and being seen by people
for the first time, it is also transforming into something more than a
movie. It is becoming a tool that can be used to give voice to young
people. They want to be heard and listened to about their future
slipping away as if it were just another political talking point.
-------------------------
THE NETWORK
-------------------------
Many of these kids are on the front lines of climate change, seeing
floods in their fields and forest fires in their backyards. But they
refuse to be hopeless, and they are finding their strength. Their
strength is in the global networks they are forming; in communicating
with each other about the challenges they face and the solutions they
are finding. "Youth Unstoppable" is a tool they can use to boost that
communication on a global scale.
-------------------------
THE SPARK
-------------------------
Every time a young person sees the movie they are inspired to tell
their own story. Our plan is to empower them to make that happen. As
the movie finishes its festival run we will setup a series of
SCREENINGS FOCUSED ON ATTRACTING YOUTH. At the SCREENINGS THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO SIGN UP TO A CONTEST, by writing a short paragraph about the
climate story they want to tell. The winners will be given a video
camera (for keeps!) and the opportunity to work remotely with a
professional editor. We've seen YOUTH TREKKING THROUGH THE HIMALAYAS
CARRYING SOLAR PANELS FOR ISOLATED COMMUNITIES, YOUTH BUILDING OFF THE
GRID, sustainable tiny houses and changing the fabric of the world
they live in today to adapt to tomorrow. These are the kinds of
stories we want to help them tell and inspire other young people!
-------------------------
THE PLATFORM
-------------------------
All of these stories will be viewable on a central website, then
pushed out into social media and special SCREENINGS. Connect4Climate,
Creative Visions Foundation and our partners will access their
networks (which include hundreds of likeminded groups and YOUTH
ORGANIZATIONS TOTALLING MILLIONS) to ensure these stories are seen
widely. The YOUTH WILL SEE AND BUILD ON EACH OTHER'S EXPERIENCES. The
voice of the YOUTH WILL BE HEARD, and continue to be heard.
-------------------------
THE RAISE
-------------------------
The "Living Documentary" concept is outside of the norms for
documentary distribution. We need financing partners to help us get
the movie to the world and engage the young storytellers. Each
investment will be recouped on a pro rata basis from sales revenues.
