LONDON, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --



Original Programming to Inspire the Next Generation - By Kids, For Kids  



Independent Films today announces the debut of Kidspiration.TV, an original online
media channel created for kids. Launching with the Kidspiration interview series,
Kidspiration.TV puts some of the world's most extraordinary minds in front of the camera,
to be interviewed by children, ages 8 to 12 years old. Kidspiration.TV seeks to empower,
engage, and inform young people through online programming made for kids and powered by
kids, introducing young viewers to the ground-breaking people and ideas shaping our world
and their futures.



Kidspiration's content engages directly with young people, and offers a compelling new
opportunity to support kids in a meaningful way. Each Kidspiration.TV episode invites the
interview subject to share his or her experiences through a one-on-one interview in which
kids create their own questions. Kidspiration interview subjects are individuals who are
making positive contributions to the world. They include renowned chimpanzee researcher
and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons
Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin, children's author-illustrator Liz Pichon, pioneering
oncologist Dr. David Agus, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, biomedical gerontologist Dr.
Aubrey de Grey, playwright Enda Walsh, humanitarian and neurosurgeon Dr. Henry Marsh,
education expert Sir Ken Robinson, and numerous other remarkable individuals.



The children participating in Kidspiration - the "Kidspiration Kids" - are everyday
kids from London and the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.



Kidspiration is co-executive-produced by Jani Guest, Managing Director of Independent
Films, and media strategist Laura Galloway. Guest and Galloway have worked closely over
the last year to develop an original format and detailed vision for Kidspiration, creating
programming that aims to redefine engaging and enriching content for young people in what
both believe is a severely under-served market.  



Kidspiration.TV launches today with ten episodes; future interviews will be released
weekly. Kidspiration plans to expand with additional original programming in the coming
year.



Kidspiration episodes are available at http://www.kidspiration.tv, on YouTube via
the Kidspiration TV channel, and on iTunes. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and
