Documenting the issues of our time
The Sundance Institute is a non-profit organization founded by the actor Robert Redford in 1981.
Its documentary film program helps new documentary makers, by running workshops on editing
and story-telling, and also giving funds to films about human rights, freedom of expression, social
justice, civil liberties and other important issues of our time. They have given almost $5.2 million
to over 175 projects in 52 different countries. Their aims are to discover, support and inspire
independent filmmakers around the world and introduce audiences to their new work. By
supporting films like these, they are also helping to raise public awareness of important issues.
One of the projects the program has helped is a film called How to Change the World by the
director Jerry Rothwell, which is about the founders of Greenpeace. Through Sundance and its
members, the director managed to raise more than £25,000 to help distribute it and give it a
bigger audience. The Sundance Institute also holds an annual film festival in Utah, where around
sixteen documentary makers get the opportunity to show their films.
