CHANGENOW / FIPADOC mentoring

In partnership with FIPADOC, the Biarritz International Documentary Film Festival, we are proud to launch a new mentoring program, accompanying 3 projects from the FIPADOC IMPACT LAB in the elaboration of new strategies for their impact campaign.

ChangeNOW is a unique place to meet thousands of changemakers. Producers and directors will be able to contact committed entrepreneurs, engineers, philanthropists, NGOs, foundations and other organizations.

Discover the 3 projects and contact the producers if you are interested in supporting them.

Les délivrés / The freed delivery

Director : Thomas Grandremy

Producer : Jonathan Slimack

Synopsis : Three bicycle couriers deliver meals for multinational companies. Seduced by the flexibility of these new jobs, they quickly became disillusioned by working conditions. Couriers decided to unite and claim nonexistence of social rights. This social struggle awakens them politically to change the law.

Teaser Dossier

Our goals and needs :

The Freed Delivery Impact Campaign take the form of forums wich requires several forms of support : financing (donations, patronage, sponsoring), sponsorship (media, logistics, event companies), partnerships (organizations concerned by CSR/RSE, social rights, labor law, "eating well", transport...), volunteers and skills sponsoring. Forums wish to involve all the components of civil society, political representation and entrepreneurship, whose ethical approach may correspond to our subject.
