“Idol Gives Back” was a star-studded, charitable fundraising television special created as a special event for the “American Idol” series. It raised over $140 million to help children and families living in extreme poverty in the United States and Africa.
Manulis and Tim Sexton were in charge of sourcing, writing, producing, and directing intensely human short stories from the poorest places in the country to serve as the beating heart of the broadcast.
