Pilgrim is a documentary and visual journalism project founded by a small group of young journalists, videographers, and storytellers. We travel to every corner of the world to explore human connection, meaning, and joy in every walk of life.
Journalism stands at a crossroads. It can divide and enrage us, or it can educate us and draw us closer together. Everywhere we look, fear-driven headlines and clickbait compete for our attention, and all of it exists to serve the same bottom line: money.
At Pilgrim, we believe the true bottom line of journalism is people. We treat journalism as an art form, a vehicle for storytelling that opens hearts and minds. Through photography, film, and writing, we document the lives of people across the world, telling their stories of purpose, resilience, joy, and accomplishment with sincerity, curiosity, and honesty. Our work is meant to bring hope and connection back into the conversation.
