Chris Temple: Mobilizing People Around Film
Cinema of Change - Podcast autorstwa Robert Rippberger & Tobias Deml
From living in a Syrian refugee camp to surviving on a dollar a day as a radish farmer in Guatemala, Chris and his co-founder Zach are pioneering a new style of documentary filmmaking. The vision for their non-profit “Living on One” is to use immersive storytelling to raise awareness and inspire action around pressing global issues. Having worked for three different micro-finance organizations, Chris brings a unique perspective to the films he produces. His first film “Living on One Dollar,” was #1 on iTunes for documentaries and has been called "a must watch film" by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus and USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah. His current film “Salam Neighbor” shines light on displaced refugees.
