James and the Giant Peach, with Taika and Friends
The Roald Dahl Story Company is partnering with Oscar-winning filmmaker and actor Taika Waititi, and a glittering line-up of global stars, in a multi-week reading via YouTube of the Roald Dahl classic James and the Giant Peach, to benefit PIH’s global work and response to COVID-19.
The Roald Dahl Story Company has committed to matching the first $1 million donated and has a history of supporting PIH’s work. Ophelia Dahl, PIH co-founder and board chair, is the daughter of Roald Dahl, who was among the organization’s first supporters.
