Graça Machel Trust
Terms of Reference: Stalwarts docuseries
Description
Scope
The Graça Machel Trust is curating a multimedia collection of Pan-African women thought-leaders, freedom fighters, innovators, and cultural custodians (collectively called stalwarts) who share their stories and those of their women heroes. This project acknowledges and pays homage to African women who have made significant contributions to humanity and educates audiences on their inspiring legacies of service.
The project will also see contemporary Pan-African women of both the continent and the diaspora who are in many ways descendants of Mrs. Machel’s generation who fought for freedom. The idea would be to link the younger generation’s freedoms to the sacrifices of previous ones and displaying an unleashed potential and a carrying of the baton forward. The content will feature African women and Afro-descendants alike to highlight the connections between Black Women’s stories globally as well as their mutual influence.
The request
For an experienced production company that has a network or contacts across the continent to come onboard as production partner:
- To pitch a creative approach to the docuseries – the production company is welcome to propose very specific ways they would like to approach and package the content.
- To develop a budget to produce the pilot series – based on your creative approach and indicate an approximate timeframe that it would take to produce the pilot series.
- Please indicate your connection to broadcasters/VOD streamers on the continent/globally, if you have any.
Think you have what it takes but not sure you check every box? Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women often only apply when they meet every requirement. If you are hesitating, apply!
