Jane Wells is an Emmy-Award nominated filmmaker and activist. In 2007, she founded 3 Generations, a leading nonprofit that documents stories of human rights abuses through film. She has produced and directed groundbreaking documentaries chronicling a diverse range of social issues: TRICKED, an unflinching examination of sex trafficking in the United States; The Devil Came on Horseback, chronicling the genocide in Darfur; and A Different American Dream, assessing fracking on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.  Her most recent film, Here Lived, explores the little-known history of the Netherlands’ hidden children through Gunter Demnig’s Stolpersteine project. It is currently playing in festivals across the globe. Her projects have been featured in international film festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, Jerusalem, Thessaloniki, New York Jewish Film Festival, and Human Rights Watch.
