By Kids Inc.

BYkids produces documentary films by kids about their lives with the goal of engaging audiences of other kids in conversations about topics like immigration, bullying, juvenile justice, climate change and child marriage. BYkids films are distributed through platforms including public television, Discovery Education and PenPal Schools, which provide teaching materials to make the film topics relevant and actionable.

BYkids finds globally-relevant stories to bring to a wide audience, focused on in-school engagement. BYkids pairs a master filmmaker with one kid who tells his/her story. Public television broadcasts the films nationally and provides teaching material to millions of teachers. The films and School Guides are distributed through Discovery Education to half the middle- and high- schools in American and to 150 countries through PenPal Schools. Additionally, BYkids hosts wide-ranging public events including school outreach, film festivals and public screenings and conversation at Film at Lincoln Center and the United Nations, to name a few.

Our young filmmakers create empathy and spark conversations that lead to social engagement.
