We have a bit of a love/hate relationship with documentaries. With so much potential for powerful messages, they’re often approached from a dry perspective that isn’t very artful. What if documentaries could be just as exciting as a Hollywood narrative?

We believe that a well told story can change the world.

When we took on this project, we knew we’d have a problem. No one wants to watch a documentary on modern slavery.

We’d have to come up with a really unique and engaging way to tell this story, if only to get people to hit play.

So instead of making a purpose-first film (like most documentaries) we lead with a singular person in the inspiring story of a compassionate 9-year old girl in San Francisco.

We followed her quest to end child slavery via her lemonade stand.

In pre-production, we planned to create the film so it looked bright and beautiful to help balance such a dark issue. And by flipping the convention upside down, we were able to tell the story through her eyes, creating an instant connection with our main character, and letting her take our audience to the purpose.

We needed to tell an inspirational story and prove to the audience that everyone has the power to change things. That's a story people can rally behind. That's the story people want to watch. That's the story that influences social change.
