Making Peace Visible

Making Peace Visible Inc.

In the news media, war gets more headlines than peace, conflict more airtime than reconciliation. On The Making Peace Visible Podcast, we speak with journalists and peacebuilders who help us understand the human side of conflicts and peace efforts around the world. From tech founders using AI to predict and prevent crises, to filmmakers documenting protest movements around the globe, to scholars decoding the psychology of polarization, these are the storytellers who are changing the narrative.

Making Peace Visible is hosted by Boston-based documentary filmmaker Jamil Simon.
