History
4REAL was founded by its producer, Josh Thome, when he was invited to the Global Leadership Jam in 20001, an event that brought together 30 young leaders from around the world. The rationale was to take celebrities (and audiences) to these young leaders while offering ways for people to contribute to their initiatives. After three more years of development and production adventures around the world, Josh and Sol landed a broadcast deal with CTV in 2006. Joaquin Phoenix agreed to be the celebrity guest for the first 4REAL episode featuring the Yawanawa community in the Amazon. After this, Phoenix joined the team as an Executive Producer to recruit other celebrity guests.
Awards and accolades
