I had only met her once before, briefly, but even in that moment, it was clear that Jewel was a charismatic individual with a deep social conscience. Between that single meeting and the stories I had heard about her from my S.O., I had the idea to film a conversation with her. Even then, I thought it would just be an exercise in posterity – something to post on my YouTube Channel, but it soon became more than that. In talking to her, (special thanks to M for helping out btw), I was inspired to find other people who are trying to improve the communities within which they live. Thus, UNSUNG was born.

 

I’m not doing it for any fee or anything like that. But simply because I believe that there are people doing positive things out there who should, IMHO, be heard. In telling their stories, maybe others will be inspired to work for social justice. That can only be a good thing.
