ONLINE WEBINAR | The Power of Storytelling: Human Rights at Home and Around the World

TUNE-IN ALERT
SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 2022 9:30 AM PT
FEATURING PAUL GARNES, PRESIDENT ARRAY FILMWORKS

The ongoing PGA x UN series of workshops examine how film and television producers, writers, directors, and creatives can work together with the UN to explore some of the most “UNique” stories and pressing challenges facing the world today.

This 4th workshop will highlight stories of human rights—from diversity and inclusion, to abuse and conflict, to the fight for political freedom. It will feature a panel of storytellers and content creators who are producing and promoting projects that feature the most pressing human rights issues facing humanity at home and across the globe. It will also introduce compelling real-life stories from the frontlines of the UN that can inspire ideas and content.

Through this event, we will answer the question: what’s next for storytellers committed to highlighting stories of race and gender, human rights violations, and also providing solutions in the emerging global content market.
