UNICEF Stories | Kingston & Montego Bay, Jamaica

Partnering with UNICEF & UNICEF NextGen, we spent a week highlighting human stories from local organizations working on the frontlines in some of Jamaica's most dangerous neighborhoods. The project was a labor of love for everyone involved. We're now developing an original documentary series to bring storytellers where they're needed most - to tell stories that matter.

These films focus on two organizations, Eve for Life, and The Peace Management Initiative - working in Montego Bay and Kingston, Jamaica. The Peace Management Initiative is a UNICEF-supported non-profit working to end gang violence Jamaica-wide. Eve For Life has helped thousands of young women with nowhere else to turn since 2009, and their work has inspired a generation of fierce advocates against sexual violence.

A Q+A with Filmmaker Kaz Firpo

We’re eternally grateful to the young men and women who trusted us to share their stories.
