Ashok Amritraj`s philanthropic campaign |
Amidst what appears to be a divisive political climate in the United States is an effort to foster global unity and societal change through inspirational programming, thanks to a partnership between Indian American film producer Ashok Amritraj`s Hyde Park Entertainment and Global Citizen. The two entities joined forces to produce a music film – “Louder Together” – to help address several sustainability development goals. “Louder Together,” narrated by actor Hugh Jackman, aims to show the power of collective action around the world. The music festivals at the heart of “Louder Together” have raised billions of dollars to reach millions of people suffering from hunger, poverty and other sustainability ills, according to Global Citizen. Amritraj, Hyde Park and Global Citizen hope to use their collective platform to end extreme poverty by 2030 and make a world free of climate change. The two concerts featured in “Louder Together” aimed to demonstrate the power of social media and the global reach of today`s youth. Amritraj, the Hyde Park CEO who was recently named a United Nations Ambassador for sustainable development goals, met with Global Citizen to discuss a collaborative effort to produce projects such as “Louder Together.” The film itself was shot, on separate occasions, at concerts in New York (September 2016) and Mumbai (November 2016).
