THE FELLOWSHIP

During a weekly Fellowship meeting, Blessy, a Christian Fellow in India, shared how a Hindu priest had tried to kill her aunt. Suvra, a Hindu Fellow in Bangladesh, responded with nothing but empathy.

Watching that exchange, Fellowship founder Patrice Pederson thought, “The world needs to see this. I can’t be the only one to witness this moment.” That was when the idea for The Fellowship was born.

And it was only the beginning. Over the course of the Fellowship, Patrice witnessed genuine empathy and love across deep differences. She wanted the world to see what she was seeing.

We could pursue a commercial release of The Fellowship, but we want these stories to reach people everywhere, regardless of their ability to pay.

For religious minorities, seeing someone from their own community represented on a global stage can be powerful. That includes Christians in India, Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan, Uyghurs from East Turkistan, Falun Gong practitioners in China, and Yazidi and Rohingya genocide survivors from Iraq and Burma.

For viewers of every faith and none, it’s an invitation to discover something of themselves in one another’s stories.

That’s why we’re releasing the series on YouTube, supported by people like you.

Your gift helps bring these stories to the people who need to see them most.

Support the crew, equipment, sound, and production work needed to film the experience.

Turn the footage into episodes through editing, sound finishing, and the work of postproduction.

Help prepare and release the series on YouTube, with no subscription or payment required to watch.

Some production funds may temporarily cover required, refundable visa bonds so Fellows can attend. When those funds are returned, they will support later production costs, including editing. The cash plan must allow for refund delays and bond conditions.
