Brainstorm Concept 3


The Immunity Project is a non profit organization comprised of a team of scientists from the top institutions working together to bring a free HIV vaccine to the world.  They are ready to begin human clinical trials after they raise enough money.  They are Crowd funding this project and avoiding government grants and pharmaceutical companies so they can offer the vaccine to the world for free.  I would love to create a documentary around this wonderful project and go into depth of the co-founding scientists and how this project came to be.  With so much violence in the world I think a project of this nature is just incredible and inspiring.  Within the documentary I would also reach out to local organizations like AIDS Ministries AIDS Assist here in South Bend and get some local perspective on this project.  I'm actually surprised I have not heard of this project until just rather recently but I think it would make for a great documentary - starting with the formation for this type of project and leading all the way up to now where they are about ready to begin human clinical trials.  These scientists are actually doing something that could change the world forever - and they are not asking for anything in return.

  1. This is an amazing project. I am also surprised I have never heard of it. I think it would be a good film if you make it. I would definitely be interested in watching it.

  2. Excellent doc concept. It is large in its scope but you have a local angle. Go for that part of the concept because it is achievable. As long as you had willing participants you could make a compelling piece about how this vaccine would impact our community.
