In this introductory segment of the YouTube docuseries “The New Humanitarians,” Dr. Chris Stout frames the project as a global journey across six continents that follows more than three dozen humanitarian organizations. He positions the series as an activist‑driven exploration rather than a tourist’s view, promising behind‑the‑scenes stories of need, response, and achievement in contexts of poverty, illness, conflict, and systemic injustice. Stout cites Jonathan Grandoff, President of the Global Security Institute, who describes the series as a counter‑narrative to the “trivial pornography” of mainstream media. Drawing on his own extensive collaborations with leading humanitarian innovators, Stout pledges that the docuseries and its companion book will deliver unique insights, insider experiences, and practical advice that are rarely accessible from a single organization, let alone from over forty of the world’s top humanitarian actors.

Chapters

Welcome to a trip around the world. You will travel to 6 continents. Be warned, you may go to some fairly desperate places, and you will not be traveling as a tourist, but rather as an activist with more than 3 dozen organizations, each one incredible in their own right. These are the stories of the new humanitarians. These are their stories, stories of need, of response, and of accomplishment. They are all at once different, but yet the same as being an inspirational account demonstrating the power of the individual triumphant over the challenges of poverty, illness, conflict, or a litany of injustices. My friend Jonathan Grandoff, President of the Global Security Institute, said of the project that it is a counter to the pervasive pornography of the trivial that infects much of what exists in the media today. I suspect he's correct. I have been fortunate to have had the rare and heady opportunity to have worked with some of the most innovative humanitarian organizations in the world, or to have collaborated with their incredibly talented leaders, and now to be able to call all of them my friends. It is my hope that this docuseries and companion book set will provide a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse of some incredible organizations. Offer valuable insights, present their insider experiences, and share advice that few would ever have access to from one organization, let alone from more than 40 of the best of the best.
