Last year, we launched something new — a fusion of traditional TED Talks paired with short-form documentary. You didn’t just watch; you showed up in force. So we’re back. Season 2 of the TED Fellows Film Series has officially arrived!

We’re thrilled to share a brand-new collection of films spotlighting our 2025 TED Fellows. Meet the pilot training young African women to fly — and rewriting who gets to navigate the skies. Follow the biotechnologist turning organic waste into biodegradable plastics that could reshape our supply chains. Learn from a scientist using satellites to protect crops and fight food insecurity. Step inside a rural American community where another Fellow is rebuilding local economies from the ground up, creating jobs where they vanished decades ago. And that’s only the beginning. 

These innovators are part of a global network of 500+ TED Fellows across 100+ countries, pushing the boundaries of science, health care, business, journalism, conservation, art, technology and more — whose work touches more than 200 million lives every year.

Season 2 invites you deeper into the Fellows universe: 10 films, 10 powerful stories of people making change possible. The result is electric, human and unmistakably hopeful.

If you want a window into what the future could look like — and who’s already building it — start here. Watch all 10 films now at go.ted.com/fellows25 and listen to the extended interviews on the TED Talks Daily podcast here.
