Jane I Wells


Jane I. Wells is a documentary filmmaker and activist whose films focus on global human rights and social justice issues. In 2007, she founded 3 Generations, a non-profit organization that uses film to document stories of witness to crimes against humanity. She has produced over 40 short films including the award-winning shorts I'm a Victim, Not a Criminal (2010), Lost Hope (2012) and Native Silence (2013). She is also a producer of the feature documentary films The Devil Came on Horseback (2007), Tricked (2013), A Different American Dream (2016), and Lost in Lebanon (2017).

Wells has said that making films that document crimes against humanity is “deeply connected to the family heritage”. Her father, Sidney Bernstein, filmed the liberation of concentration camps at the end of World War II. Wells has said that it was her father's greatest regret that the footage was never shown publicly, as he hoped it would serve as evidence for all mankind that these atrocities had indeed taken place.

Wells has said that the motivation behind forming her organization, 3 Generations, was to enable the next generation to stop genocide.
