Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen, said, "In 2016 Global Citizens on different sides of the world - in New York and Mumbai - transformed their cities into arenas of advocacy in the fight to end extreme poverty. The energy, passion, and determination we see throughout Louder Together exemplifies the heart of this movement. We are so proud to be partnering with Complex and Hyde Park to be able to tell this story and highlight the impact of this movement."

"It's an inspiring feeling you get when you're at a Global Citizen Festival, surrounded by thousands of people who all took action to get there," said film-maker Ryan Gall, a co-founder of Global Citizen. "Our hope in making this film is that we capture some of that energy you feel when you're there and urge more citizens to start using their voice to create real change."

The documentary follows as the Global Citizen Festival expands its international reach with its first-ever event in Mumbai, India.
