Taking Down Giants, the movement serves as a catalyst in the wheelhouse of creating and visualizing a different future for our Planet and it’s inhabitants. The way we treat one another, the way we treat, use and replenish our resources. Coming together as soul-u-tionists and creating modules of gatherings where we not only continue the discussion about Planet issues and Human issues but, we come together to create solutions to them.
The Team
Taking Down Giants the Film, serves as a tool amongst many tools to create visions of sustainability and what our world would look like if we turned the tide and banded together to tell and share stories of change and it’s change-makers. Firstly women and girls and then all inclusive. Our intention is to bond with other like minded partners and organizations, artists, filmmakers and other mediums, to get the stories of change out into the World on a large scale. We aim to make a difference from one life to many lives, from one area to many areas around the Globe.
What’s meaningful to me are extremely compelling stories that jumpstart change, give hope and inspire an audience to make a difference.
Our mission and intentions are to create change where we see it needed through various mediums and begin to create more soul-u-tions for the many issues facing each and everyone of us today. To Capture the essence of untold stories, bring them to life, inspire action and give them a voice in the world.
