Watch With Me on Google TV: Kerry Washington’s watchlist
Movies and TV can make us laugh, cry and even shape who we are. Our watchlists can be surprisingly revealing. We’re teaming up with entertainers, artists and cultural icons on our Watch With Meseries on Google TV to share their top picks and give you a behind-the-scenes look at the TV and movies that inspired them.
Actress, producer and director Kerry Washington believes movies and TV have the power to influence us as individuals, and ultimately change the world. “When you step into a story and see yourself immersed in a part of the world that you’ve never been exposed to,” Kerry says, “that’s a magical experience.”
Kerry’s love for movies started when she was a young “latchkey kid” in the Bronx. Movies and TV helped connect her with others and feel a sense of belonging. “When you can connect to a story, you can connect more deeply to your humanity,” Kerry says. “ That’s why we watch, to be human and to connect to ourselves and each other.”
We sat down with Kerry to dig in more on her favorite movie and TV picks.
What do you think your watchlist says about you?
Kerry Washington: A lot of the films I love are about compassion, belonging and finding your way.
Are there specific moments where you used movies or TV to escape?
Washington: I am an only child and spent a lot of time alone. The people in shows? They were my friends.
What inspired you to create your YouTube series Street You Grew Up On?
Washington: I was so excited when we started our series, Street You Grew Up On. It was really fun because the whole point is that we are each the center of our own story. It’s really fun to talk to people we admire about the “once upon a time” in their life.
What new frontiers and environments interest you in movies and TV?
Washington: There’s all this attention on sci-fi and space travel, but [I think] there’s more real estate in the ocean that’s unexplored than in space. I think there’s magic to discover down below.
Your watchlist features many movies with mermaids. Do you believe in mermaids?
Washington: As a child, I really did think that maybe I was part mermaid. To this day, I keep trying to convince my kids that my DNA breakdown includes a percentage of mermaid.
Can movies or TV shows make any change in the world?
Washington: One of the things that I love about being a storyteller is that you really do see that hearts and minds are transformed by the best narratives.
Is it a crime to text during a movie?
Washington: I try to silence notifications so that when I’m watching, I can have as sacred an experience as possible.
Do you watch credits all the way through?
Washington: In my house, we watch the credits all the way through out of respect for the people I work with. The credits that matter the most are not just ones at the beginning of the show. It’s the folks at the end of the show that also make it happen.

A climate and clean energy renaissance in the U.S.
The climate and energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 represent the most comprehensive investments to combat climate change in U.S. history. These investments offer the opportunity to bring about a renaissance of American-made clean energy and renewed energy security, putting the country on a path to historic emissions reductions by the end of this decade.
At Google, we’ve set a goal to achieve net zero emissions across all of our operations and value chain by 2030. Our net zero goal also includes a moonshot to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy for all of our data centers and campuses. The climate and energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will provide the glide path to the clean electricity resources needed to decarbonize U.S. grids and reach these goals. We’re founding members of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact, a coalition of over 70 companies united in this pursuit, and I’m confident that with the tailwinds on climate and energy provided by these policy measures, that number will grow.
We’ve also integrated sustainability into our core products, like helping drivers and air passengers find fuel-efficient routes in Google Maps and Google Flights or giving homeowners the tools to efficiently heat and cool their house with a Nest Thermostat. It’s our goal to make the sustainable choice the easier choice. The clean energy and climate provisions in this bill will help amplify those small daily choices by making it easier for citizens to adopt clean electric vehicles and upgrade their homes to be more energy efficient.
Climate change is the most urgent challenge of our time. This historic climate legislation will help the country tackle that challenge, build energy resilience and power the industries of tomorrow.

Community in times of need: DevFest for Ukraine
Each year, Google Developer Groups (GDGs) come together for DevFest conferences around the world – not only to exchange knowledge and share experiences, but also to get inspired, celebrate the community and simply be together. It’s a cheerful gathering, focused both on technology and the people behind it.
GDGs in Ukraine organized the first DevFest in 2012. After 10 years of building a thriving community, 2022 turned out to be different for thousands of Ukrainian developers. Ever since the anti-aircraft sirens woke them up for the first time on February 24, many in the tech industry have been working non-stop for the sake of their country – helping refugees, providing medical assistance to those in need, and trying to work from bomb shelters. Luckily, they’re not alone.
Help from all sides
The developer community in Ukraine and abroad decided to use the DevFest conference to raise awareness and funds for those in need. “This time, because of the war in my country, DevFest Ukraine is happening for Ukraine,” says Vitaliy Zasadnyy, co-founder of GDG Lviv. “It’s a brilliant way to celebrate the future of technology, learn new things, connect with other tech experts and raise funds for a good cause.”

On July 14-15, DevFest for Ukraine gathered more than 20 industry-leading speakers over two days, featuring live streams from London and Lviv. From tech sessions and inspirational keynotes to networking and overviews of the latest developer tools, the event brought together people who shape the future of Android, Web and AI technologies.
Funds were raised for those in need by participants donating a sum of their choice to access the live stream and recordings after the event. Topics ranged from API design based on AndroidX libraries, to applied ML for Healthcare, to next-generation apps powered by machine learning with TensorFlow.js, and more. Check out the highlights video.

Support the cause
All the funds raised during DevFest for Ukraine go to three NGOs that are supporting the country at this turbulent time. The goal was to provide humanitarian aid and direct assistance to affected families. The GDG Ukraine team carefully selected them to ensure efficient use of funds and transparent reporting.
And here’s the best part: DevFest for Ukraine raised over $130k for the cause so far, and counting! You can still access the recorded sessions to learn about the future of tech.
