3 Generations

3 Generations continues to shed light on human rights abuses in our time. Through the lens of Jane Wells, her films on ecocide, sex trafficking, veterans, indigenous peoples, and genocide show us the truth of what is happening right now, and bring a voice to those who need to share their stories. Because of the important work of 3G, we have an important record of of truth- and a call to action for humanity.

I have been watching 3 Generations grow for over 15 years and remain incredibly impressed that such a small team has such great impact. So much so I joined the board!

A consistently hardworking, conscientious, and dutiful team. I am constantly impressed by the work they do.

3 Generations is a powerful documentary company dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices and shedding light on critical human rights issues. Their films explore complex social justice topics such as genocide, gender identity, refugee crises, and indigenous rights, blending personal stories with broader global contexts. Through poignant storytelling and striking visuals, 3 Generations creates emotionally compelling and thought-provoking films that drive awareness and inspire action. Their commitment to authenticity and advocacy makes them a leading voice in human rights filmmaking. A must-follow for those passionate about making a difference.

My experience with the Docs that are produced by 3 Generations is that every film is directed and produced with the utmost care, professionalism, and grace. Their stories about the human condition are not always easy ....they are challenging and real. 3 Generations has made me a better-informed citizen.

I attended a screening of Here Lived, by 3 Generations, and it demonstrated the crucial work of this nonprofit. The film brought attention to many overlooked Holocaust victims and shed light on their stories. I look forward to their future projects.

3G tells stories that NEED to be told. Attending several HERE LIVED screenings was an experience ill never forget. The entire audience was affected by this authentic story of honoring victims of the Holocaust. 3 Generations has been around for over 15 years, and I hope they continue for another 15 more.

3 Generations is an extraordinary organization. Through powerful storytelling and compelling documentaries, they shed light on critical human rights issues, from genocide to environmental justice. Their commitment to giving a platform to survivors and advocates is truly inspiring. The impact of their work extends far beyond awareness—it's a call to action for all of us to engage in creating a more just world. They are making a real difference, one story at a time.

I attended a screening of 3 Generations’ film, Here Lived, and it underscored the excellent work this nonprofit provides. The film gave voice to the many forgotten victims of the Holocaust and highlighted an aspect of the tragedy that everyone should learn about. Their work is vital to ensuring that the public is educated about atrocities that have not received necessary attention.

The "Auschwitz: In Front of Your Eyes" exhibition was incredibly enlightening. Expertly orchestrated by 3 Generations, attendees were provided an inside view of the camp as it stands in the present day through a virtual tour conducted with on-site staff. Followed by a Q&A with exhibition coordinators and 3 Generations, the viewing provided a unique and intimate glimpse of one of the most harrowing chapters of human history. Having previously visited Auschwitz-Birkenau in person, this exhibit offered an important reminder of what it means when we vow to "Never Forget".

I attended a screening of Here Lived and it was a really beautiful film. Between the amazing stories told and thoughtful cinematography, I was riveted throughout. The 3 Generations staff members were lovely and informative. I’m looking forward to attending more events in the future!

The cooperation with 3generations is unique. Employees listen and let everything be explained well and you notice that there is a lot of interest. They take their time, but that's good - because what takes time becomes good. All in all, the cooperation is excellent.

3 generations is an incredible professional organization, always active on human rights and social justice issues. The content created by this organization is outstanding, and ahead of its time. Working with them is rewarding and educational. They deserve every support to continue their work to make our society a better place for the next generations.

It has been an honor to be introduced to this wonderful Non Profit organization.
The dedication and effort they give to all of their projects to document and produce the stories of all of these important social issues is very evident, all are done so well.

This organization is small but mighty!
Through the power of film, 3 Generations tells stories of human right abuses with unparalleled precision, compassion and sensitivity. Their films educate, create awareness, and inspire
tolerance and change.
Bravo on 15 years of important work!

3 generations is deeply involved in making social justice films that highlight unique subjects. In addition, I am very impressed by their commitment to the younger generation through their annual video contest. It is open to ages 15 to 24 from anywhere in the world and highlights activism from the youth perspective. This year's winner is a 15 year old from Romania.
The money they raise is spent very wisely, no fluff.

I have been a volunteer Board Member for 3 Generations for over ten years. This organization brings great intelligence and passion to each film and each issue that they address. What I have learned about putting ideas into action cannot be overstated. In 15 years, they have produced nine feature documentaries and nearly 400 videos bearing witness to human rights abuses of all colors. 3 Generations is a scrappy and prolific little non-profit with outsized results.

3 Generations provides incredible documentaries that push necessary conversations forward. Run by excellent people, its very important to keep organizations like this going!

A wonderful nonprofit run by a passionate and creative team. I had the opportunity to spend a summer working at 3 Generations and was blown away by the dedication to documentary filmmaking and using art as a means to fight for human rights.

It's 3 Generations 15th anniversary this year and I want to salute and thank the whole team for reaching this milestone. Many not-for-profits don't make it this far and teamwork and flexibility have made this happen!

Amazing experience! The staff is dedicated and knowledgable about their causes. I really respect the work they do.

My favorite non profit.
they respond quickly to the changing needs of the disenfranchised. they make beautiful succinct and informative videos to expand our understanding of world events.
3 Generations becomes more organized and more efficient annually, using our donation dollars to really effect change.

Great non-profit would be an understatement. This grassroots organization has been in the trenches for many many years helping to share stories that would otherwise be untold and unheard. Now, more than ever, it is so important to remove ourselves from our own circumstances and listen to those individuals whose stories help remind us that the world is much larger and more tragic than we realize in our day-to-day lives. I look forward to continuing to help this organization in that mission.

One of the best grassroots filmmaking organizations around. A hardworking, dedicated team invested in their causes for the long haul.

3 Generations is a vital organization to help document and preserve stories of human rights abuses. In these precarious times, the work of 3 Generation is more important than ever
as sharing these stories has become a civic duty.

I have seen many 3 Generations films over the years and each of them have been memorable for their professionalism and meaningful content and I remember each and every movie. Keep up the good work Jane!

I have been a board member of 3 G for over 10 years. I cannot express how proud I am to be connected with an organization who tells the truth consistently. The stories I hear from them I might never have heard about without this extraordinary organization.

I’ve never come across a nonprofit with as tiny an overhead yet as big a commitment to filming people and their stories. 3 Generations’ concerns cover many important issues of our time, from global warming to the refugee crisis to remembering the Holocaust. They are tireless in their belief that film is the key to recording history and to changing the conversation. We all know that to be the truth.

I very much appreciate the work they do and feel they have something definitive to offer through storytelling.

Amazing organization and very well put together. Outstanding creations and very informative. Greatest learning opportunity I have ever come across with becoming an I term for this organization!

3generations does incredible work of giving a platform for voices that may not have otherwise been heard. thank you 3g for the work you do.

3Generations Non Profit is helping our people of the highlands of Peru recover from the struggles of the pandemic that have affected our Elders and our children. with projects that have great impact on the recovery of our Education 3 Generations is building a internet center with enough computers for children to receive online education. we have received support and help for bringing food and supplies to families in need.

3 Generations is a not-for-profit dedicated to the unspeakable; genocide, sex trafficking and displacement. For the sole reason of their horror, exposure is essential. Each film 3G makes provides that light and focus. It is essential that this work continue.

They are a great non-profit film company.
Their films and videos are relevant and touch on important human rights issues.

3 Generations handles the subjects they pursue with respect, compassion, and nuance. This attitude extends beyond the films to their persistent social media advocacy for the issues being documented and the people affected; never letting us forget. I love seeing 3Gs relationships with their subjects grow and respond to changing times.

A truly admirable organization staffed by hardworking people who care a lot about the causes they cover. 3G is determined to honor the people whose stories they help to tell, and that is what makes this organization unique.

3 Generations tells the important stories of our times that will affect future generations and as such is indispensable!

3 Generations shares important, riveting stories about social justice and human rights issues.
Their storytelling is unbiased and informative which is rare these days.

Love everything about 3 Generations and the topics they stand for. Also how they weave it in so nicely through visual storytelling. Keep spreading the word!

Driven by their impassioned and relentless pursuit to share the stories of the voiceless... 3 Generations is a critical driving force in human rights advocacy and awareness. Their films, leadership (Jane Wells), and mission are an inspiration to be followed.

3 Generations mission is more important now than ever. Social justice comes in many forms and sharing peoples stories powerfully affects change in today's digital world. 3 Generation does an outstanding job finding and telling important stories that make our world a better and more just place.

I originally found this nonprofit on the Great Nonprofits site, and I am so glad that I did. I interned with 3 Generations over the 2019 summer and had an incredible experience. Not only did I learn a great deal about making documentaries, but I also learned more about conducting business in the realm of social justice. 3 Generations full-time employees are truly dedicated to documenting human rights abuses and other contemporary issues. Their passion was very apparent in the workplace. Being immersed in that environment was extremely inspirational to me. I am also very thankful for the amount of respect given to interns at 3 Generations. I was able to complete many projects during my summer and even pitch new ideas. This hands-on experience, along with the feedback I received along the way, will be extremely valuable for jobs that I'll hold in the future.

I have supported 3 Generations for many years--inspired by the work of its gifted leader, Jane Wells, who in her personal leadership, vision and determination has brought to life the stories of many forgotten and marginalized people. Story telling is the most direct and compelling way to find human connection and stories told by the talented and dedicated team at 3 Generations move us to become more socially empathetic which is, afterall, the moral glue that hold us together in this fragile contemporary world.

A wonderful organisation taking on challenging work. It’s so important that the voices of the marginalised are heard, and their stories told. 3G puts some really serious issues in the spotlight, and reminds us that we have to struggle towards a world where genocidal behaviour, war atrocities and man-made environmental disasters can be a thing of the past, not forgotten but never repeated.

3 Generations has, for over a decade, been committed to documenting first person accounts of human rights. Through the joint participation between courageous subjects and dedicated filmmakers, 3 Generations thoughtfully proves a kind of database oral histories. These records, experiences, accounts, are invaluable in what they can teach us about history so that we may truly try to improve upon it.

3 Generations is a brilliant organization committed to the difficult and important work of amplifying the voices of survivors. The work they have done over the past eleven years–work which they continue to do–is invaluable.

3 Generations is a thoughtful and high integrity organization. The work they do is extremely educational and eye-opening.

As a former employee, I say without a doubt that 3 Generations is a nonprofit like any other. 3G is truly a hybrid organization. Jane puts the people and their stories at the center of the work. Unlike many, 3G puts the focus on the film subjects and their truths, and not how someone else would like to tell or view the story. Not only then does 3G raises awareness around social issues, especially ones that are brushed aside, but it also serves as a place of healing for the subjects themselves. And this sentiment doesn't go away once filming is over; if anything, it only increases. 3G maintains relationships with all of its subjects and asks how to better help them in raising awareness. In addition to its role as an advocacy organization, 3G makes films that tell beautiful, balanced, and passionate stories. I cannot rave enough!

3 Generations is a brave and courageous organization. They take on social issues that others shy away from. I am proud to be a supporter of this outstanding nonprofit.

This is an empowering, inspiring grass roots not-for-profit led by Jane Wells, a serious documentarian with a true "give back" sensibility. If you are looking for integrity, you have come to the right place. Look no further.

I was moved to contact 3Generations after seeing one of their films, which moved me so much that I knew I needed to act. That is the power of the work that 3G does. By remaining small-staffed and nimble, they are able to focus their resources toward their mission of making stories that tell urgent stories in a way that fundamentally moves audiences and connects them to issues that need our attention. In a cultural and media environment that is saturated with stories, 3G takes the TIME to work with survivors in a way that respects and honors their stories, and tells stories that reflect the complexity of the issues they deal with. This is a massively important contribution to a landscape of story where too often people are reduced to soundbites and stories are compressed to headlines.

3generations dedication to the truth and approaching the subject matter ethically and compassionately is exactly what we need in the current political climate. Keep up the good work!

3 Generations tells the stories that would otherwise never be told; the stories that are difficult to hear but so important for all of us to know. We need more organizations like 3 Generations to bring the critical issues of today to the forefront.

3 Generations makes the underserved, underrepresented and victims of unfathomable human rights abuses their sole concern and focus. They give a voice to these people and makes them the spokespeople of the organization. The films that 3 G produces shows populations that are normally forgotten and brings their stories to the masses. I cannot say enough about the amazing work and impact that 3 Generations has.

Three Generations is an extraordinary nonprofit with goals that far exceed any in the documentary film arena. Giving voices to those who would otherwise not have one, esp. victims of unfathomable circumstances is an incredible outlet for the individuals and themes themselves but for ensuring their stories ripple through to society to help us all be more understanding, empathetic, and most importantly AWARE!!!

As a true agent of change in the world, Three Generations demands us to be educated in human rights abuse and inspires us to act. Not only do they provide a platform for victims of injustice to tell their stories, but they also act as a catalyst to help victims heal. Their work has never been as important as it is today.

I saw "Lost in Lebanon" at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, and the film truly opened my eyes to the humanity within the Syrian refugee crisis. One of the refugees was sponsored to get out of Lebanon after his story was seen. As part of the screening, there was a Q&A with a representative of the United Nations. This company is clearly making real changes in public policy and in the way society views social injustices.

The people at three generations possess something that is missing in modern American society. A sense of empathy, and a sense of responsibility toward others. I have immensely enjoyed all the time I have spent with them. They are dedicated People with huge hearts.

I just recently watched "Tricked" on Netflix, and it opened my eyes to how sex trafficking is a crime committed in our own backyards that the public is often ignorant to. It made me want to look into other films from 3 Generations and see what social issues they bring to light.

I went to the screening of 3 Generations film "Lost in Lebanon" at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in June and I was extremely impressed with how they told the stories of Syrian Refugees. Looking forward to seeing more of there films in the future.

I follow 3 Generations on facebook and I love how they challenge the status quo and continue to highlight important news about extremely important topics like the oppression of Native Americans rights and genocide that continues to happen every day.

3 Generations' mission is unlike most other non-profits, but the act of sharing stories through film is incredibly rewarding. The organization is incredibly driven to find new stories and topics to help raise awareness and take action to fight against abuses. Three Generations' work is vital to ameliorating human rights abuses, and I hope their excellent work continues far into the future!

I have voluteered for 3 Generations so I am very familiar with this organization. They truly advocate for the truth and serve to give voice to the voiceless. Through this organization, I learned a great deal about a variety of issues effecting our world today. They have helped bring light to the stories of some of the 20 million victims of sex trafficking worldwide through their feature, Tricked (available on Netflix) as well as content on their site. They have brought about environmental awareness and activism through content on the melting glaciers of Greenland and Standing with Standing Rock as well as their most recent feature, A Different American Dream. They bring attention to human rights issues and violations, most recently in collaboration with the Scott Sisters on their feature documentary on Syrian refugees living in Lebanon, Lost in Lebanon. Its also very important to mention, they have been instumental in bringing one of the seminal documentaries on the Holocaust to North America, with their distribution of German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. In these dark times, the world needs more organizations like 3 Generations, dedicated to social awareness and justice.

They make such compelling films! They have helped raised awareness about important causes using film as an engaging medium. Keep it up!

3 Generations does a tremendous job using the power of film to give survivors a voice and ensure survivors of human rights abuses have their stories heard. Not only does 3 Generations successfully bring these stories to light, they are also thought leaders within the community working to enact real positive changes in the world around them.

I had the fortune and pleasure to work with the 3 Generations team, and after all my experiences with this organization I can proudly say they are a nonprofit that truly loves the work they do and deserves support.

Recently went to the NY International Shorts Film Fest and saw their film A System Of Justice. Loved the film, as heartbreaking as it was.

This organization does the crucial work of opening up spaces of healing and dialogue, humanizing survivors of atrocity, and through the power of storytelling. Few other organizations have been able to tie together the universal story of survival in the way that 3G has done and continues to do, and tie that to action on behalf of and with survivors.

Incredible organization run by wonderful people! Can't wait to see A Different American Dream!

Could not speak too highly of this organisation. Using video and film to highlight Human Rights abuses going back a hundred years. From the Armenian genocide at the beginning of the last century, to their current work on what is happening at this very moment in Syria, Africa, North Dakota and elsewhere, 3g brings public awareness to a wide range of subjects that do not have enough publicity. It does so by focusing on individual stories of men and women, young and old, just like you and me. Direct, personal accounts that bare witness to issues that affect us all. I am proud to be a donor.

I continued to be moved by the quality and depth of the documentary making of 3 generations. This is an organisation that does not shy away from communicating harsh facts and distressing realities on behalf of marginalised communities in our society. This form of witness is crucial to engage potential, provoke discussion and enact change.

I have seen the charity work for 5 years, in which time it has produced 2 documentaries. Both have been distributed, won awards and achieved way beyond the expectations of a professional film production company. In addition 3G uses the films as powerful springboards for high profile awareness campaigns of human rights abuses both in the USA and abroad. It has a powerful reach that belies its size and funding.

3 Generations is a terrific organization which uses the power of film to shed light on various human rights abuses. 3 Generations works diligently to ensure that various human rights abuses are given the attention they deserve. 3 Generations looks to impact the conversation with its powerful films and personal stories. Truly an inspirational organization.

Three Generations is doing invaluable work documenting and sharing the stories of survivors, whether they are victims of genocide, human trafficking, or veterans returning from war. The work 3G does is smart, informed, and has an impact, not only in attracting audiences to important causes, but in successfully changing minds and opening hearts. I've been privileged to work alongside the 3G team over the years, and can say with confidence that they are doing critically important work that can and should be seen and shared by people the world over.

I first encountered the work of 3 Generations when screening their film 'Tricked' at a festival I was running at University. I then had the great pleasure of interning for them earlier this year and becoming more closely acquainted with their amazing work. The platform they provide for survivors of atrocity to share their stories is a vital tool for raising awareness of various human rights abuses.

This nonprofit is doing majorly amazing things! They are giving a voice to people who have had theirs taken away. Keep up the good work!!

They do great work and are working on several projects that no one else is focusing on right now. Happy to support!

Three Generations is a unique entity--their dedication to improving awareness for so many social injustices is unwavering and so badly needed in the world today. I am inspired by their creative projects and the commitment they have to social justice. I am eager to see what films they release next and will continue to support them however I can.

I first learned about 3 Generations at the screening of German Concentration Camps Factual Survey at the Museum of Jewish Heritage this past spring. The story behind German Concentration Camps Factual Survey was fascinating but more interesting to me, was the work Ms. Wells is doing with 3 Generations in continuing her father's legacy of documenting the stories of survivors. From what I've seen, 3 Generations preserves the stories and honors the voices of survivors in a way that to me, seems rare these days. I look forward to seeing more from Ms. Wells and 3 Generations in the future.

The incredible thing about 3 Generations is their unique ability to raise awareness of human rights abuse and remind us that we are all a part of the human race. The stories are captured and shared in such a way that each survivor personally affects each viewer. Their stories are no longer past memories watched on a screen, but rather a relevant part of our everyday lives. We are unable to continue living in blissful ignorance. Instead we are compelled to watch more stories, share them with our friends, and do something to become part of the solution.

Jane Wells, the founder of 3 Generations, is a woman of compassion, conscience, insight and integrity who is deeply committed to making this a more just and humane world. In 2005 we went together to Darfuri refugee camps in Eastern Chad. She was deeply moved to tell the personal story of the Dafruri refugee which led to her producing the powerful film, The Devil Came on Horseback. 3 Generations brings the compelling stories of the victims of genocide, war and sex-slavery as well other major atrocities to life in creative and inspiring videos. I am proud to serve on the Board of an organization that is doing effective, strategic work in promoting human dignity and rights.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to work with the 3generations crew regarding my experience under pimp control for two years! I was impressed by their knowledge and understanding of human trafficking and their treatment of me as an everyday person, not just a survivor! They made me feel at home so I could relay my story in a candid and personal way. The final outcome from my interview is exceptional and completely retains my message. The 3G team supports me in many aspects, following the interview and it isrefreshing to see that they were not just interested in my story, they were interested in me! I really appreciate having them behind me and they are a great organization doing some great work for a huge issue! Keep it up 3G!

Telling people's stories is the most powerful way to connect us all.
Stories make the unimaginable real. They remind us of our common humanity. 3 Generations was founded to do this and to do this in a respectful and non-manipulative manner. All survivors of crimes against humanity deserve to tell their stories and be heard. That is what 3 Generations does: thus helping heal the teller and informing the listener.

3 Generations has taken an original approach to the problem of child trafficking in two ways. One, it has focused on underage girls in the United States. Two, it makes concise documentary films of the girls describing their experiences; how they were captured, what their lives were like and how they escaped. The films are not fantasy or titillation. They are a frank look at a horrendous crime. No other medium could convey these girls' experience as well.

3 Generations has carved out a unique and much needed space in addressing human rights abuses: making personal such large scale and unimaginably horrifying abuses such as genocide and child sex slavery so that the broader public can understand them on an individual level. People respond to stories, not statistics, and the challenge many issues face is that the problems seem too vast for individuals new to a cause to understand and care enough about it to act. 3 Generations does a tremendous service to the sector by telling individual stories in a compelling yet not sensationalized way, that honors the individuals profiled while making clear the devastation they represent. Creating this content would have been enough, particularly with the easy to share tools embedded in each video, but with 3 Generation's latest campaign against child sex slavery, they have given us the tools we need to not only care but to act, in a very accessible and clear way. Human rights issues are complex, but to rally broad public support we in this field need to do a better job of helping making complex issues more accessible and actionable. 3 Generations does just that. Kudos to 3 Generations for their work to expose genocide and for taking on the little known issue of child sex slavery in the U.S. They are an organization truly worthy of our support and I hope they will continue to tell stories that help people understand and care about these tragic issues.
