Carolyn Jones

Photographer and filmmaker Carolyn Jones has devoted her career to photojournalistic storytelling, believing that stories can change the human condition when presented in an authentic way. She has spent the last decade focused on amplifying the voice of nurses on the front lines of our healthcare system. Her most widely acclaimed book publications include Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS and The American Nurse, which led to a feature documentary included in the U.S. State Department's American Film Showcase. Her films have been broadcast and distributed worldwide, including on PBS and Discovery, and her most recent film In Case of Emergency won the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary at the United Nations Association Film Festival. She founded the non-profit 100 People Foundation for which she travels the world telling stories that celebrate our global neighbors. Carolyn is grateful to be able to view the world through the lens of nurses—people who know how to heal and how to love, and she feels lucky to be able to share their stories with the world.
