What is it really like to be a One World Media Fellow or Grant recipient?

We asked a few of our past storytellers, and their reflections speak for themselves.

This short film features insights from previous Fellows and Grantees on what the experience meant to them and how it helped shape their careers and creative journeys.

The video was edited by 2021 Fellow Fredrick Ochieng, whose work continues to highlight powerful, underreported stories.

If you're thinking about applying for one of this year’s opportunities, including our Fellowship, Global Health Film Grant, Amazon Film Grant or Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship, we hope this gives you a sense of what’s possible.
