The Power of Us, a film about co-operation, developed by TPFF.
Co-operation is in our DNA – from the personal to the political, from the social to the economic. The fruits of this human endeavour  is all around us to see – the world’s top 300 cooperative and mutual enterprises generate a combined global turnover of $2.789 trillion.  Cooperatives employ approximately 280 million people globally, accounting for about 10% of the world’s total employed population. Across nearly 3 million co-ops worldwide, these organizations operate across diverse sectors ranging from agriculture and finance to healthcare and retail.

It’s safe to say that  the co-op movement as a whole – its principles, reach and success – is far from being as prominent or as widely appreciated as it deserves to be. The Power of Us intends to  deliver a film of quality and impact that will reach audiences, media and decision-makers around the world in order to raise the level of awareness and debate about co-operation. In other words,  the power of ‘us’….

Our ambitions for the film

• have a tagible, positive, economic impact on the co-op economy
• draw a whole new generation to the co-operative vision and movement
• empower existing co-ops to use the film as a way to take their message to new members.
