TEAM

Our creative team is led by Consequential, a production company creating meaningful films, content, and campaigns that uncover and share in-depth issues and educate and activate audiences.

 

This film was spearheaded by and is being produced in collaboration with the Aspen Institute Science & Society Program, which, across formats and outputs, catalyzes community leaders, current and future scientists, and the general public to build a better scientific ecosystem, society, and world.

 

This film is also being produced in collaboration with Women Make Movies (WMM), which supports women producers and directors from the beginning, planting the seeds for a diverse and inclusive filmmaking landscape. As the world’s leading distributor of independent films by and about women, WMM amplifies historically ignored voices and challenges the mainstream media.
