Mapping the landscape of social impact entertainment

The SIE landscape is vast and ever-changing. As we built this report, we began the process of creating a map that aims to show who’s working in the field. The following visualization is a compilation of these workings — it is only a snapshot of the wealth of information available. However, even these preliminary efforts show that SIE has clear cross-discipline prevalence and is not just the jurisdiction of those working in nonfiction, or for whom social change is the primary concern.

We’ve identified a handful of projects that serve to show how interconnected the world of social impact entertainment is. They are displayed here as clickable buttons. Though by no means exhaustive, these initial “meta examples” trace collaborations between various companies and organizations in the field.

Our aim is to advance this map and gather information from those furthering SIE, so that we might demonstrate the many facets of this discipline. We know there may be projects and organizations missing – or some that may even be incorrect! We need your help to finish building this ever-growing ecosystem.
