Skoll and Redford Team Up to Produce 'Stories of Change'

[Source: Chronicle of Philanthropy]  July 16, 2009 - Successful social entrepreneurs will be spotlighted in a documentary film series set up by former eBay executive Jeff Skoll’s foundation and Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute, Voice of America reports.

The $3-million “Stories of Change” project will produce 10 films, culled from more than 300 proposals, that portray innovators in serving the world’s poorest areas, such as the Grameen Bank founder Muhammad Yunus and Ann Cotton, a British activist who started an education training program for young African girls. The film will begin screening in theaters and on television early next year.
