The Internet's Own Boy (US Documentary Competition) and We Are the Giant (Documentary Premieres) tell the stories of individuals who have used technology and social media to bypass traditional barriers to communication, and who have impacted lives and created change worldwide in the process. Like these individuals, filmmakers today have the opportunity to share their films with a global audience, and create social impact using the same tools. Hear from filmmakers, activists, and industry experts on how innovation in technology and social media are being harnessed for documentary finance, outreach, and distribution.
