In collaboration with creative agency Kin, nonprofit organisation the Wikimedia Foundation has launched this insightful and uplifting campaign celebrating the people who make Wikipedia possible as the online encyclopaedia it reaches its 25th birthday.
Directed by Adrian Yu, the video docuseries takes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a global community of volunteers who write, edit, and fact check information according to rigorous standards on neutrality and reliability.
The series centre around eight of these editors, including a Californian who has spent two decades documenting hurricanes and storms, an Indian medical doctor who shared critical COVID-19 information during the global pandemic, an elderly librarian in Tokyo making knowledge available in Japanese.
“In a world shaped by algorithms, misinformation, and endless noise, Wikipedia reminds us of something simple and profound — the joy of learning, the power of curiosity, and the beauty of knowledge built by people, for people." says Sophie Ozoux, co-founder at Kin.
