Challenge

Communities face numerous challenges when it comes to being disconnected and unengaged in local change-making efforts, and lacking the resources to convene, get inspired, and combat misinformation. Limited access to information, to opportunities to learn and gather, to address leadership gaps and mobilize support of causes, have a significant impact on their ability to drive positive change and build resilient and vibrant communities.

Solution

Our film events serve as community platforms to strengthen local leadership, counter misinformation, promote critical thinking, empathy and social inclusion. We inspire communities and especially youth to learn about issues that matter, embrace diverse perspectives and collaborate on projects that address local challenges. Film events that bring people together, empower communities, provide resources, and foster an environment conducive to meaningful local change-making efforts that have ripple

Long-Term Impact

Your support will diminish the financial burden of local partners and changemakers, allowing them to receive high-quality films at no cost, and will play a vital role in supporting the facilitation of impactful film events in communities across the globe. Your donation will enable community members to become change agents, nurturing a culture of authenticity and long-term local leadership with lasting opportunities for community action that impact countless lives.
