"Hear Me Out" is a documentary about Helen Udanbila, a Ghanaian community journalist who empowers young girls and women in Saboba, Northern Ghana. This hopeful film shows how Helen, through a local radio program and the Youth Speak Up project by Danish NGO Ghana Friendship, tackles cultural taboos like teenage pregnancy, women's education, and abortion. It highlights the impact of giving a voice to marginalized groups in a society biased towards older generations and gender inequality.

The documentary film took on a role as a powerful educational tool through collaboration with 'Worlds Best News' and the UN World Goals initiative. This partnership aimed to shed light on the transformative power of media and demonstrate the profound impact it can have on society. By delving into the representation in media, the film explored the significance of diverse voices and stories in shaping our collective understanding and perception of the world. In a society increasingly reliant on visual narratives, this educational material served to critically examine media content, encouraging a more diverse and representative media landscape

The film sought to inspire youth to actively engage with media, scrutinize its portrayal of various groups, and recognize the pivotal role it plays in shaping our shared reality
