We've teamed up with Doc Society, an international nonprofit organization that supports independent storytellers worldwide, to release The Global Climate Playlist!

The Global Climate Playlist is a curated list of global documentary films financed by Doc Society’s Climate Story Unit, which supports compelling storytelling and impact campaigns from around the world. Every film funded is considered a powerful story that can move the world closer to a climate-just and biodiverse future.

Each month, Doc Society will spotlight one film in the playlist and host a special live online screening event, free for audiences, that includes a live Q&A with the film and impact team.

“The Global Climate playlist on Kinema will unlock these award-winning films’ ability to truly reach audiences around the world. These films are changing the narrative on climate issues, and Kinema’s unique features will transform the teams’ abilities to organize community-centered screenings in an engaging and accessible way.” Megha Agrawal Sood, Doc Society Co-Director.
