Filming your world: a global video competition
What is the one thing about your life and your surroundings that you want the whole world to know about? The BBC World Service is running a video competition called “MyWorld” that asks people to send in a two-minute video of the world from their perspective. The entries will be judged by filmmakers from different continents and the winning entrants will have their videos broadcast on the BBC.
The BBC’s Simon Pitts explains the project. We also hear from two video contributors: Ron Geren from Los Angeles, whose video tells the story of an important figure in his life. Matome Senyolo of Johannesburg created a love letter to his township.
The World is an independent newsroom. We’re not funded by billionaires; instead, we rely on readers and listeners like you. As a listener, you’re a crucial part of our team and our global community. Your support is vital to running our nonprofit newsroom, and we can’t do this work without you. Will you support The World with a gift today? Donations made between now and Dec. 31 will be matched 1:1. Thanks for investing in our work!
