OKRE connects the film, TV, and gaming industries with researchers and lived experience to create entertainment that sparks real social change

About Us

We believe in the power of storytelling to drive social impact.

Driven by ambition

Our team has helped to develop and fund BAFTA-winning video games and Oscar-nominated films, as well as supporting Emmy award-winning screenwriters. We’re an independent charity and international hub supported by a consortium of funders, stretching across the sciences, culture, and social impact.

Our Mission

At OKRE (Opening Knowledge across Research and Entertainment), we believe in the power of creative content to not only engage audiences emotionally, but to tackle misperceptions and help us understand the world better, too.
