We believe in the power of empathy and compassion to connect people across borders and backgrounds. Our commitment to understanding and acknowledging the narratives of civilians caught in the crossfire of armed conflicts drives us.
Armed conflicts are multifaceted, but The Civilian Agenda's attempts to capture these layers into narratives of civilians to help human stories resonate more closely with audiences.
Partnering with screening cinemas and hosting events with partners, The Civilian Agenda amplifies civilian voices and bring their narratives to the forefront of global conversations.
Recognizing the immense toll armed conflicts take on civilians, The Civilian Agenda aims to extend discussions beyond the usual diplomatic circles. We firmly believe that popular public opinion can mobilize governments to enact policy changes and foster better international engagements, ultimately leading to enhanced civilian protection.
In today's digital era, meaningful discussions on armed conflicts often remain confined to experts, government workers, and observers. Unfortunately, this can lead to disengagement among the general public due to overwhelming information and a lack of clear solutions or calls to action. The Civilian Agenda aims to remedy this by making information and public education more accessible.
The Civilian Agenda's approach involves translating complex war-related issues into compelling cinema. As a not-for-profit producer, we collaborate with talented directors from around the world, including those from affected communities, to craft messages that resonate with audiences and prompt meaningful action.
The Civilian Agenda relies on a diverse group of contributors, primarily affected communities, but also researchers, policy advisors, academics, diplomats, governmental leaders, and independent filmmakers. By drawing on this wealth of knowledge and expertise, our cinematic creations are grounded in the desire for deep understanding of the challenges faced by civilians in conflict zones and call to actions on multiple levels.
