Introducing the Global Health Film Grant

The Global Health Film Grant is an exciting opportunity designed for experienced filmmakers eager to explore vital yet underreported health stories in the global south. This initiative encourages ambitious projects that delve into systemic barriers to healthcare, highlight promising research, and shine a light on emerging health threats. The goal is to amplify diverse perspectives, stories, and voices in global health through impactful documentary filmmaking.

Aim and Benefits of the Grant

This esteemed grant offers up to £20,000 in funding for the selected film project. Each grantee receives invaluable production support, industry mentorship, and guidance from an executive director—essential for crafting a compelling documentary. Furthermore, all completed films will be published on the Financial Times’ platforms, ensuring that these important narratives reach a wide audience. Participants will also benefit from workshops and peer support through the One World Media Fellowship.

The Global Health Film Grant is specifically tailored for storytellers operating within the global south. We are particularly excited to discover creative proposals that address newsworthy topics, reveal underreported stories, or provide perspectives from unexpected voices.
