ShareDoc aligns deeply with the kind of storytelling and advocacy I believe in; where films aren’t just consumed, they catalyze action. As someone rooted in community building and human rights, I see ShareDoc as a tool that bridges the emotional impact of film with practical, immediate engagement. It offers filmmakers and protagonists, especially those from the Global South, a powerful way to connect with global audiences and mobilize solidarity, whether through donations, petitions, or awareness.

After 30 years of working in film and media education, I am now an enthusiastic ambassador until all socially moved filmmakers and relevant festivals know how to optimally use ShareDoc.

Can a film change the world? Many of us documentarians set out our journey with the hope to contribute meaningfully to our world and shape new mentalities throughout the films we create.

There’s nothing more frustrating than witnessing an urgent crisis unfold and feeling powerless. I became a ShareDoc Ambassador because the platform breaks through information paralysis, turning awareness into action and empowering each of us to take one small step toward real impact and a better world.

As a filmmaker I ask myself sometimes if filmmaking still makes sense if you can't creat Impact.

What moves me most in filmmaking is the closeness it creates—the chance to really see someone, to understand their world, and help carry their voice beyond their immediate surroundings. But so often, once the credits roll, that connection fades. ShareDoc is offering viewers a way to engage meaningfully with the people and causes behind the stories. It feels like a natural continuation of why I started making documentaries in the first place.

After watching a very powerful film, I often find myself feeling at a loss. It is one thing to raise awareness but it feels like only half the job is done. As directors, we set out with the intention of changing things for the better and this platform allows you to see that to fruition.
