THE WHY shows its films in over 200 countries and territories through its strong network of partners across the world. These partners include local organizations such as NGOs, schools, and community centres.
Documentary films are an excellent tool for sparking critical debate, building empathy, and inspiring behavioural change for sustainable impact among a wide range of audiences, including students, policy makers, and community members.
Together with local organizations, we use documentaries to empower citizens with knowledge, strengthen public debate on pressing issues, and to activate multi-actor engagement in human rights.
We share documentary films with our partners so that they have the opportunity to use documentaries as part of their activities. Thus, THE WHY’s partner support focuses on providing documentary films whilethe partner organizations are responsible for funding their own activities and equipment related to the film.

Are you a local organisation (e.g. NGO, school, community centre, etc.) and would you like to use the power of fact-based documentary films to promote human rights and democratize knowledge in your communities?
Maybe you want to show a documentary film at your community hall, local library, university class, school film club, office staff training, or by the outdoors square in your town?
To get an overview of the overall types of films that might be available to you, please see WHY STORIES Catalogue here (note: some films access may be regionally bound).

Please note that it is important for us that the organzations we work with already have the equipment needed to show a documentary film (e.g. laptop, projector, big TV screen) or that you have a way to acquire this.
