Caroline Baron is an American film producer. An influential producer and activist, she is one of Hollywood's most celebrated businesswomen. Having produced the Oscar-nominated film Capote, Baron's many credits include the cross-cultural hit Monsoon Wedding, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and numerous awards worldwide. In 1999, motivated by reports of families fleeing their homes in Kosovo to seek refuge in crowded camps in Macedonia, she founded the nonprofit organization FilmAid International. FilmAid's programs provide life-saving information on HIV/AIDS, landmine awareness, health and hygiene, women's rights, and conflict resolution. The programs ease psychological suffering, foster understanding, engage the mind, and spark the imagination. FilmAid currently reaches hundreds of thousands of refugees in Kenya and Tanzania.
