VASUKI’S STORY
OUR APPROACH
Sketch worked with a network of local producers, journalists and fixers to find the best potential stories. These were then discussed in detail with the Legatum Institute and a story was chosen. We managed all aspect of the production - obtaining filming permissions and organising logistics for a shoot with a lightweight crew and local partners.
In Paraguay, with the help of a local producer, we told the story of Liz, a girl whose life was saved by having the first heart transplant in a state hospital. In Sri Lanka, we met several a war widow who was rebuilding her life after the tragedy of the horrific civil war. In Estonia, we interviewed leading entrepreneurs who had helped their country’s rapid rise since independence, creating a country whose GDP has grown by over 800% in the last 25 years.
the PROJECT
Sketch was commissioned by The Legatum Institute, a London based international think thank, to produce 3x films about the key trends in its annual prosperity index. The index tells the story of how countries improve their prosperity by looking at a wide range of data. The films were shown at the presentation conference of the results of the prosperity index.
These films were warmly received by the audience and illustrated some of key themes picked out by the CEO of The Legatum Institute, Baroness Philippa Stroud. These films will be shown at Legatum events and distributed online. For further information on how to produce films internationally and find global stories, please get in touch.
The Result
“Sketch were able to find the subjects and the stories that really brought our research to life. The films helped us show some remarkable insights into human potential and resilience.”
