Fiverr International Ltd., (NYSE: FVRR), the company that is
changing how the world works together, announced the release of its
first impact documentary film, “Out North.” The documentary short
is told through the eyes of several key activists and entrepreneurs
in North Nashville, shining a light on the story of zip code 37208,

States, 14% or one in every three young men, of which 93% are
Black, according to a 2018 Brookings Institute Study.

While filming its recently launched brand campaign, “It Starts
Here,” Fiverr dug into the story of hope and community engagement
exemplified by residents and business owners across North
Nashville. Those same characteristics align with Fiverr’s brand
purpose - to create opportunities for anyone, anywhere to build
their business, brand, or dreams - and inspired the creation of
this piece of content meant to discover and inform. “Out North”
follows the inspiring work of Gideon's Army Grassroots Army for
Children, a community-based grassroots organization that works to
design programs focusing on dismantling the school to prison
pipeline in North Nashville.
“We hope that having our community’s story shared through this
documentary will help raise awareness of important issues like the
school-to-prison pipeline, institutionalized racism and
gentrification,” said Rasheedat Fetuga, President and CEO of
Gideon’s Army Grassroots Army for Children. “We want people to feel
inspired and empowered to learn more about our cause, and the work
that many are doing to break the cycle.”
“Out North” is a story of opportunity and reinvestment into an
otherwise underserved community. It is a snapshot of a moment in
time, a story rooted in civil rights, racial reconciliation, and
shifting the social justice paradigm in a changing city.
“We are incredibly proud to tell such an inspiring story about
North Nashville,” said Duncan Bird, Vice President of Brand
Marketing and Digital at Fiverr. “This documentary short film is a
first for our brand, and it’s an honor to provide a platform to
share the incredible work behind Gideon’s Army and to put a
spotlight on such a historic neighborhood.”
