Creator's Story


Why Freedom Project?


During Abraham’s youth in West Africa, he experienced not only the tragic death of his teammate, but his own molestation.
After these tragedies, a deep loss of power came over him.

Abraham started facing symptoms of depression and anxiety. At the time, mental health wasn’t a topic that was talked about. Abraham didn’t know what was going on, nor did anyone else.

Eventually, after moving to the United States, he met someone who recommended that he see a therapist. In doing so, his whole life changed. Now, Abraham is dedicated to reaching out and helping people discover what he once needed.

Our Process - How do we plan to end the stigma?

Advocacy Conversations


We will premiere the pilot episode in partnership with our impact partners in all 50 states and 3 continents. We believe a global video screening will bring a massive buzz to mental health. Our mission-driven influencers will share viral content to their combined audience of 6 million+ to raise global awareness.

Awareness Short Series


We believe people want to connect on a deeper level, be challenged, empathize with one another, and share vulnerably; and they want to do it engagingly. Our goal is to figure out where the stigma happens by bringing different people from different backgrounds and countries to talk about thought-provoking mental health-related questions while producing short films and feature films focused on highlighting social issues through the lens of mental illnesses.

Final Impact Plan

Local Media Publication

The brand of freedom sold to viewers of one of the nation’s most-watched cable news networks doesn’t reflect the kind Abraham Sisay has come to know, he declared, looking back on his journey from a rising Gambian soccer star to Kansas City filmmaker and how it revealed the true definition of the word.
