Meet the 2024 OWM Fellows ??
One World Media
Supporting journalists and filmmakers tell stories in the global south
They’re here!
Please welcome our 2024 Fellows – 11 amazing filmmakers, journalists and storytellers from across the global south who will spend a year developing their projects with us.
Our fellows will be reporting from Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Senegal, Malaysia, India, Rwanda, South Africa and Botswana.
We were particularly impressed by the range of stories from applicants and their creativity to bring them to life. ?
Fama from Senegal will be making an experimental poetic documentary told through dance and archive. The film is inspired by a childhood memory of Dakar but set firmly in 2024, at a time of rapid urban transformation.?
Timothy from Uganda will be developing a narrative podcast about a cult whose members perished in a mass murder suicide 25 years ago. He hopes to investigate the lasting impact the tragedy has had on a community in one of Uganda’s most remote regions.?
And Nicholas from Malaysia will be exploring through documentary form how Malaysia's underground punk and metal bands and the community spaces they use continue to resist growing music censorship and recent raids.
A big thanks to our jury for helping us bring together such an impressive cohort.
