Partners of Human Potential
A documentary series of the incredible people doing incredible things. Created for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
We set out on a journey to capture the partners of the Foundation, the real people changing the world. From the very start we wanted to make sure we told their stories in the most authentic light possible; So we filmed on 16 mm to accurately capture their skin tones; we made fonts of each partner’s handwriting; and we built our script solely out of quotes from hundreds of hours of interviews with partners 6 months before filming.
In addition to creating the short documentary series, we created a manifesto film that travels across the world to shows that the world that optimism is the very fuel that makes progress possible – and the proof lies in humans working together to make it happen around us every day.
