“There's more good happening in the world than the headlines let on. I wanted to build one place to find those stories, watch them for free, and pass them on.” — Rob Burns, founder of One Good Story Project
One Good Story Project, a new documentary platform built around free films about positive change, is now live at onegoodstoryproject.com. The site streams short documentary films about real people, ideas, and organizations doing good, and it pairs each story with a curated library so viewers can learn more about the topics that move them.
The idea is simple. Most of the news we take in is heavy, and it's easy to come away thinking the world is worse than it is. One Good Story Project is a counterweight. It tells true stories about people creating positive change, and it makes every film free to watch, with no paywall and no subscription.

Visitors can watch the films and then go deeper by topic. Stories are organized under six areas - Community, Education, Environment, Health & Wellbeing, Social Innovation, and Justice & Reconciliation - and each one connects to a hand-picked collection of books, documentaries, podcasts, and organizations. So a film isn't the end of the story. It's a starting point for anyone who wants to do something with what they just watched.
"There's more good happening in the world than the headlines let on. I wanted to build one place to find those stories, watch them for free, and pass them on," said Rob Burns, founder of One Good Story Project. "If a film sticks with you, share it with someone who could use a bit of good news. That's how these stories travel."
The films are free by design. One Good Story Project is funded by supporters who want to help bring more of these stories to life and keep them open to everyone. New films and content are added over time, and viewers can sign up on the site to hear when the next ones go live.
One Good Story Project is streaming now at onegoodstoryproject.com.
