What began as one family's mission to bring the gift of hearing to people throughout the world, OPERATION CHANGE has become a global movement with the goal of inspiring people to take action to help build a better world.

A 10-part documentary series on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, OPERATON CHANGE follows President Bill Clinton, the Dalai Lama, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Donna Karan, Maria Bello, Sir Richard Branson and others as they travel the globe, on behalf of Starkey Hearing Foundation and other organizations, to work with local heroes who are changing lives around the world.

The screening featured the season's final episode "Papua New Guinea," in which the team travels into a jungle to help a village plagued by tribal warfare fueled by the drug trade. To watch this episode, visit:http://www.operationchange.com/episode/papua-new-guinea
