3 Generations (nonprofit)


3 Generations is a non-profit film production company that concentrates on documentary films about oppressed peoples. Founded in 2007 by Jane I. Wells, its mission is "to support survivors of genocide and victims of crimes against humanity by helping them share their stories." It tells these stories in the belief that it "fosters the healing process and illuminates our common humanity." 3 Generations has produced several films, most notably: The Devil Came on Horseback, Tricked, A Different American Dream, the short films Native Silence, A System of Justice, and most recently Lost in Lebanon (2017), a documentary about Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Wells founded 3 Generations in 2007 after witnessing the Darfur genocide. Her father, a filmmaker who accompanied the Allied Forces during the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, had been barred from publishing his films until 1984. When Wells encountered Brian Steidle, a photojournalist whose footage of the Darfur genocide was also suppressed by the United States Department of State for security reasons, she agreed to produce a film about the genocide.

The Devil Came on Horseback tells the story of the Darfur Genocide that claimed over 400,000 Sudanese lives. It is told through the perspective of photographer and former U.S. Marine Corps Captain Brian Steidle. Steidle was a military observer when he travelled to Sudan in 2004, so he was given unprecedented access to areas in Darfur unavailable to other journalists. He witnessed firsthand the horrors and atrocities committed in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Tricked (film) is about sex trafficking in the United States. The film was selected for screening at the Montclair FIlm Festival in Montclair, New Jersey, as well as the Quad Cinema in New York City. It is told from the perspective of the prostitutes, their parents, pimps, the police officers and the johns who pay for the sex. It also follows a vice squad in Denver, Colorado who work to track down the pimps responsible for the human trafficking.
