Fix the world and make money.

The Twentie Four documentary series shows a slice of the lives of 24 entrepreneurial pioneers in 24 cities, each filmed over the course of 24 hours. Pioneers, greedy for a kind of world where obvious issues such as climate change, gender inequality and poverty are tackled. They’ve picked entrepreneurship as their lever for change. Twentie Four immerses you into their lives, while they startle the establishment and make serious money on the way.

It’s our aim to show the every-day of their lives, that’s are recognisable for all, yet put to use for extraordinary aspirations by only a few. In twenty-four hours we sit, sleep, eat, drink, walk, ride, wonder and laugh together. On camera, we record the stories of disillusion, vulnerability, excitement and celebration - so everyone can read between the lines.

Why? We want to inspire everyone who feels stuck in a rut, or paralysed by what’s happening at the world’s stage, to not give up. Not on themselves, not on others, not on a better world. Help them realize they have plenty of power for change. We vote beyond politics every single day, through our jobs and wallets.

Erika Lust

Mariana Costa Checa & Herman Marin
