Mission

Shine Global is dedicated to ending the exploitation & abuse of children worldwide through the production of films and other media that raise awareness, promote action, and inspire change.

What We Do

Since our founding in 2005 as a non-profit film production company, Shine Global has given voice to some of the world’s most at-risk children, shared their stories, inspired millions of viewers, and won more than 30 major film awards, an Academy Award® for Best Documentary Short, an Academy Award® nomination for Best Documentary, Best Director Documentary at Sundance, and two Emmy Awards®.

Shine makes theatrically cinematic films that empower children to tell their stories in a manner that reveals hope within horror. Beyond providing viewers with an emotional film experience, we intend to move them to social action through our partnerships with non-profits working with the children documented.
