Littleton Road Productions, the company responsible for the Peacock series, DR. DEATH, came to Aggregate for guidance in developing a plan for how to use their storytelling for social good.

Using DR. DEATH as a jumping off point, we worked with the team at Littleton to think about how each story they told — and the emotions and ideas they triggered — could lead to a new opportunity to contribute to social or policy change.

DR. DEATH, for example, would leave audiences both frightened and outraged and provided a platform for increasing awareness and concern for patient harm and safety issues, educating audiences about how to protect themselves from harm, and — most importantly — educate them about the systemic issues that put patients at risk for harm and limit their ability to achieve justice when they are.
