The Great Green Wall is a visionary $1.5 million feature-length documentary project, conceived and spearheaded by Pollen's founder, Alexander Asen who served as Executive Producer.

This involved playing a leading role in securing the substantial budget required to bring this ambitious initiative to life. Our founder's groundbreaking concept not only ignited the project's inception but also guided its creative direction and overarching vision, in collaboration with award-winning producers MAKE Waves and Oscar-nominee Fernando Meirelles,.

"The Great Green Wall" made its debut at the esteemed Venice Film Festival (Giornate degli Autori), setting the stage for a global journey of impact and awareness.

To date, the documentary has graced the screens of over 40 prestigious festivals worldwide, accumulating a remarkable collection of 13 festival awards. These accolades, received from renowned festivals such as Sāo Paulo IFF, Jackson Hole Media Awards, CannesTV, Raindance, EarthX, Ecocup Russia, Serbia Green Fest, Philadelphia IFF, Imagine Science, Beyond FF, and Metz FF, underscore the project's exceptional storytelling and powerful message.

"The Great Green Wall" has been showcased at high-level forums, including the United Nations, garnering significant attention and support.

As a result, the initiative has secured a groundbreaking $19 billion funding pledge from players like the World Bank, the Government of France—with the personal endorsement and support of President Macron—and influential figures like King Charles and Jeff Bezos.
