Jason Jones (activist/filmmaker)

Jones began working in the anti-abortion movement while he was attending the University of Hawaiʻi. He formed the Pro-Life Student Union and was chairman of the Hawaii chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, a group of conservative student activists. In March 2009, Jones travelled to Sudan and visited refugees in Northern Aweil, on the Darfur border and inspected 26 new water wells. In addition, he distributed $2 million in food, medicine, and other aid. This visit was undertaken despite the expulsion of all non-governmental organizations and a warning of unsafe travel from the U.S. State Department. Local charities documented the aid missions, Jones's distribution of food and inspection of wells, in partnership with others who remained within the country after U.S. State Department warnings. Jones spearheaded aid to children at risk of starvation in the crisis precipitated by the United States military pullout from Afghanistan. He facilitated campaigns in Ukraine beginning in 2022 to treat civilians harmed by the Russian invasion, and completed other humanitarian missions in Gaza and Sudan. He used his public position as a filmmaker to raise awareness of the sufferings of the Afghan people. == Filmography==
