The Power of Helping
A documentary project exploring how giving transforms the giver
Most stories about social impact focus on the people being helped. This one flips the script. This project tells the stories of people who are often seen as needing help, facing challenges like unemployment, mental health struggles, or other setbacks, yet who find strength and meaning by helping others.
The idea is simple but powerful: we follow real people whose act of giving turns out to be the thing that helps them most. The implications are huge for how we help others as a society.
I’ll bring the core idea, research, and psychological framing - why this matters, and how to ground it in science. You’ll bring it to life through film. That means shaping the vision, choosing who we follow, and crafting something compelling enough to change how people think about contribution and capability.
