Documentary: The Power of Making a Difference

Exploring How Helping Others Transforms Lives—Especially for Those Who Aren’t Expected to Be the Helpers

Most films about social impact focus on those receiving help. But what if we flipped the narrative? What if we told the stories of people who are struggling themselves—facing unemployment, psychiatric challenges, or other hardships— yet finding empowerment through helping others?


This project is about creating a documentary or storytelling film that captures the unexpected power of making a difference—not just for those who are helped, but for those who step into the role of helper. Through real-life stories, this film will challenge traditional ideas of who gets to create change and show how giving, even in small ways, can be transformative for everyone involved.


As my Impact Partner, you’ll co-develop this film, shaping its vision, identifying subjects to profile, and bringing their stories to life in a compelling and inspiring way.
