Our new website is live!
We’ve given our online home a major refresh, making it easier to explore the projects we’ve been proud to work on, and why they matter.
You’ll find stories of impact across film, events and digital, plus a new space dedicated to tools and insights we’re developing to support changemakers, creatives and campaigners tell stories that land. These are launching later this year.
Have a scroll, see what’s new and if you’re working on something that needs creative firepower, we’d love to connect!

💡 In a world of cascading crises, how do we move from reaction to transformation?
Today at , we witnessed changemakers reimagining crisis response - shifting from Band-Aid solutions to building foundations for lasting peace.
At Fat Rat Films, this resonates deeply with our core belief: empathy-driven storytelling can bridge divides and inspire action. Throughout our five-year partnership with Amnesty International's Be There programme, we’ve combined insightful remote interviews with news footage to create powerful films that document critical human rights work.
The films chronicle the impact of Amnesty's teams working across Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Northeast Nigeria… We've focused on documenting the dedicated work of Amnesty's investigators as they respond to crises, research violations, build cases for accountability, and advocate for justice - often in the most challenging circumstances.
Our latest film released this week takes viewers inside Amnesty's work across 74 countries in 2024, revealing how evidence becomes accountability, and how accountability plants the seeds of lasting peace.
The polycrisis era demands crisis response that addresses interconnected challenges - climate, conflict, displacement - with interconnected solutions.

At Skoll this week? Let's connect!
🚨 Women’s voices must be heard. Their rights must be upheld. Their power must be recognised.
Some fight back against injustice. Others fight for access, for opportunities, for a better future for their children. All of them shape the world we live in.
We’ve told stories of women exposing corruption and abuse, and of women pushing for change in quieter ways - getting back into sport after years away, building something for their community, showing up for the people they love. Every story matters.
But too many barriers remain:
⚠️ 47,000 women and girls were killed by male family members in 2020.
⚠️ 30% of women globally have experienced sexual or physical violence in their lifetime.
⚠️ 45 countries still have no laws against domestic violence.
On , we’re honouring the stories of the women we’ve had the privilege to work with - stories of resistance, resilience, and women shaping their own futures.
