Overview

Truth Aid Media was founded by the award-winning producer/director/writer team of Mehret Mandefro and Lacey Schwartz Delgado to tell stories that inspire, empower, entertain, and make you see the world from a different point of view. Their work across fiction, documentary, episodic, and branded content shifts culture around the world. Truth Aid films have won at festivals like Sundance and Berlin, their TV shows have been nominated for Emmys and broken ratings records around the world, their commercial campaigns have penetrated culture, and their digital series have been nominated for Webby Awards. Across all these areas, Truth Aid’s sweet spot is making difficult conversations easier to have and creating understanding where it doesn’t exist. Whether it’s issues of race, power, family secrets, or gender, Truth Aid Media brings skill and artistry to create meaning, clarity, and impact. During the production company’s fourteen-year tenure, Truth Aid Media has built a strong reputation for taking on bold projects and presenting nuanced stories that challenge audiences to change the way they think about the world. Their work has been funded by the Sundance Institute, Ford Foundation, Netflix, PBS, and Sony Studios, among others. Truth Aid Media also does commercial work that builds audience and community for a diverse range of brands, including Facebook, Essence, Mastercard, AARP, and Walmart.
