The New Corporation Film & App
Project Description
Following up on the hit 2003 documentary, The Corporation, the "unfortunately necessary sequel" premiered at TIFF in September 2020. Like the first film, we are the grassroots team behind the impact campaign, dedicated to harnessing the power of this film to change the corporate form.
We developed the website and a story-sharing app featuring videos about those affected by the issues, and how they tackle corporate power, grassroots organizing and challenges to democracy. We run social media and email marketing campaigns, engaging with supporters and joining in solidarity with allies from around the world.
We are also distributors using our Cool.World platform for streaming events and for the eventual release of the educational version.

Let's Involve Women in Village Budgeting! e-Course
Project Description
We developed an e-learning course for Oxfam Canada that was part of a larger “Power Up” women’s empowerment project in Indonesia, which encourages women’s participation in the budgeting process. This interactive module inspires women to get the issues they care about on the village agenda and funded, while providing tips on how to navigate the process and overcome barriers.
To make the process more relatable and overcome low literacy barriers, we created a series of animated videos following the journey of a young Indonesian woman expecting her first child. The responsive HTML 5 course is optimized for mobile users and will be made available online as a web-application or it can downloaded offline as a free-standing module for desktop users. The videos with both Indonesian and English closed captions are also be available. This project has been very well received in the Indonesian villages it was intended for.
