Picture this complex world simply - the world as 100 people.

6.7 billion of us share this planet.
Who are we?
What do we look like?
What can we learn from others?

Mission
We create media and educational tools that simplify and humanize complex global statistics by looking at the world as a community of 100 people. Our films, photography, and educational programs strive to change the way people regard one another in ways that move us closer to world peace.

Vision
We are traveling the globe to meet and create portraits of the 100 people representing all 6.7 billion of us sharing the planet. Our vision is to create documentary films, photography, and educational tools that facilitate face-to-face introductions among the people of the world in ways that cultivate respect, create dialogue, and inspire global citizenship.

Educational Impact
Teachers from schools on every continent have used our media to enrich their lesson plans and engage students in learning about the world population – starting with their neighborhood. Using the 100 People framework, students interview and create portraits of individuals they admire most in their communities. The portraits are then exhibited at their schools and on our website, and inviting students, teachers and community members into a global conversation about their place in the world. Through this process of statistically and visually bridging the local with the global, students develop an equalizing and expansive framework for seeing the people they share the planet's resources with and for activating their role as global citizens.
