As a society, we consume culture. It's an integral part of every-day life. Culture consumption is where Breakthrough seizes the opportunity for change. We reject cultural norms, practices, and products that perpetuate violence and discrimination. In their place, we produce and amplify media, arts, and technology that promote core human rights, including dignity, equality, and respect.

OUR METHODS

Breakthrough US Pop Culture and Media

MULTIMEDIA + POP CULTURE

Through film, animation, video games, storytelling, social media, and more, we make human rights issues real, relevant, urgent, and actionable.
