We were honored to work with Freedom House and creative agency M+R to produce a film that summarizes the organization’s newly released 2018 “Freedom in the World” report.

Every year, the report measures civil liberties and political rights across the globe. This year’s report found that democracy has faced its most serious crisis in decades.

To highlight the findings, we interviewed Freedom House executive director, Michael Abramowitz, and used news photography from Getty and the Associated Press to illustrate the decline in democracy worldwide in the past 12 months.
