description

Hear from Charlie Phillips, Head of Stories at Lyfta about the impact of its short documentaries aimed at young people and watched in schools, and how we harness the power of storytelling to inspire change early in life. We commission and distribute short observational character-based documentaries about people across the world finding hope in the everyday and working towards better futures. Hear how these stories are capable of creating a lasting impact in children’s lives, education systems and societies around the world.

Lyfta uses documentary films to communicate global issues to children and young people in accessible ways; by showing honest and authentic representations of people and cultures, and by encouraging them to be critical of the media they consume. In a time of division, found out how Lyfta is enabling children to connect with people’s stories from around the world, and educating them on their surrounding contexts, facilitates empathy, open perspectives and meaningful action. And how you can get involved in making work for Lyfta.
