Description

Resist is a cross-media platform effecting change through progressive participation across borders.

The website will ask people to share their stories and their skills to work together to change social conditions, through a volunteering, donation and co-creation platform.

Resist identifies issues and proposes actions through the mechanism of storytelling – sourcing stories primarily from ground-level beneficiary communities, listening to their needs and connecting up to the larger network. From these stories feature length documentaries will be made. Then, scenes from the films will be streamed on the website, connected directly to a toolkit used to spur direct action.

The first film to emerge from this process—dealing with systemic poverty issues along the US/Mexico border—will feature the international star Gael Garcia Bernal.
