3 Generations

We are currently planning a series of short films that will focus on the stories of survivors of genocide from Cambodia, Rwanda, and Tibet. Our goal is to post these videos on our organization's website, in hopes of creating more awareness and support for surrounding this issue. The violence and the recovery in these three regions is on-going; political unrest is prevalent in Tibet, while Rwandans are still recovering from and fighting for governmental acknowledgment of the mass genocide that took place in 1994. These areas and their survivors still desperately need our help and attention.

We are continuing our work with other organizations that are also geared towards helping survivors of genocide, especially those from these plagued regions. Our work on this topic has gained national recognition; currently, a group of high school students from California found out about the work we've done with genocide survivors through GlobalGiving and they have launched their own initiative to try and raise money for the same cause.

According to the Associated Press "Another Tibetan has set himself on fire in western China to protest government policies" and he's not the only one. In addition to this 19 year old monk that recently set himself ablaze, everyday Tibetans are protesting all the ways in which their government has chosen to ignore the cries of its people. Self immolation, large marches and rallies, and various other public protests are continuing to take over the streets of Tibet.

While we are awaiting the funds to help Tibet in bigger ways, we are continuing to cultivate relationships with Tibetan people and organizations such as the Tibet Fund. The Tibet Fund's goal is "to preserve the distinct cultural and national identity of the Tibetan people." We have a similar goal: this year we plan to film Tibetan survivors and refugees, allowing them to share their stories, and hopefully encouraging the type of support and help that this region desperately needs.

3 Generations proudly supports the work of the ICC. In 2011 we helped raise awareness of the Court by filming and sharing our interview with Prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo. This as well as our other successes and overall impact would not be possible without your support.

What is our impact?

A film produced by 3G is a story told, a survivor's voice heard, an act of healing, a call to action. 

A story told to us is produced and shared broadly with our supporters, partners and advocacy organizations. This sets in motion a process for the public to engage in actions that effect change. 

A $10,000 film made by 3G can be shared with advocacy organizations and distributed across media platforms, with an exponential impact: $10,000 donated creates $100,000 of media impact via our partner organizations.

What you can do in 2012 and beyond:

-Sponsor a story

-Listen to the stories we have created

-Share our work

-Donate to our programs

3 Generations is committed to raising awareness of the International Criminal Court. Please visit our website for stories from the Lubanga Chronicles, other survivors of genocide, and our interview with Luis Moreno-Ocampo.

We are currently conducting extensive research on the ICC in preparation to film and share new stories in 2012. We will continue using our social media networks to share the Court’s current events with our fans and followers.
