About the Event

The project highlights the stories and perspectives of individuals who have traditionally been marginalised in society. The intention of this video series is to promote greater awareness and understanding about marginalisation and to help create a more inclusive world for all. Each story is unique to the individual and they will speak from their own lived history. By sharing these stories and experiences, we hope to enable viewers to hear views that are perhaps different from their own. We aim to educate people in a way that is accessible – with videos and online.

The funds helped us pay for videographer Teejita Gupta, who helped us to film and edit these stories.

The amazing storytellers have volunteered to share their perspectives on:

Racism, Poverty, Access to education, and  Gender discrimination

Here is the trailer for those of you who have not seen it.

We hope that viewers will reflect on these powerful stories and implement what they learned into their daily life to stop all forms of discrimination.
