Application Deadline: 20 August 2025
Applications are now open for the 2025 One World Media Global Health Film Grant. The Global Health Film Grant is for an experienced filmmaker who wants to explore, through a short documentary, underreported stories about health in the global south. We’re interested in ambitious projects about systemic barriers to all sorts of care, as well as promising research, treatment advances, or emerging health threats that merit investigation. We want to amplify new perspectives, stories and voices on global health with a particular focus on solution oriented reporting.
This grant is offered as a collaboration between One World Media, Pulitzer Centre and the Financial Times, and the selected grantee will be a part of the 2025 OWM Fellowship.
Requirements
- This grant is for storytellers from the global south and working in the global south. We’re particularly keen to hear creative proposals, ideas that are newsworthy, cover an underreported story, or hear from people who are often unheard and offer unexpected or rare access.
Benefits
- Up to £20k funding for their film
- An industry mentor, an Executive Director and production support
- A commission from the Financial Times with the film freely available on the FT’s platforms
- Fellowship benefits from One World Media, including workshops and peer support
- Global promotion of the film by all three partners and associated screenings
- Membership of the OWM global alumni network
Application Timeline:
