The University of Melbourne’s Nossal Institute for Global Health approached Mighty Films to produce a film promoting their Gender Equality Study, an international research initiative in partnership with World Vision Australia.
Mighty Films accompanied researchers to the Rift Valley in western Kenya, where they travelled to evaluate gender equity outcomes in the Marigat Girl-child Promotion Project, which seeks to lift the status of women and girls in rural Kenyan communities through improving access to education and offering alternatives to harmful cultural practices.
Before leaving Australia, Mighty Films worked closely with the research team to identify cultural sensitivities and develop a rigorous ethical framework for the production of the film.
