ACTIVATE: The Global Citizen Movement is a new six-episode mini docu-series from P&G, Global Citizen and National Geographic that debuted this last month on the National Geographic channel. Pictured is a young girl in Indonesia watching filthy water being cleaned for drinking, using the P&G packet technology. Image: P&G Each episode delves into a different issue connected to the root causes of extreme poverty, following a specific Global Citizen campaign and the organizers, amplifiers, grassroots activists, action takers and people whose lives are being changed. Episode topics include eradicating extreme poverty, ending cash bail, breaking down barriers to girls’ education, funding education for displaced children, ending plastic pollution and helping solve the water crisis. Through the eyes of activists (some of them pretty big Hollywood names) and told through the iconic storytelling lens of National Geographic, viewers will hear the stories, meet the people and witness firsthand the work that is being done to combat extreme poverty and inspire a global movement.
