Narrative Films as Catalysts for Justice & Change
When films like Selma shift how people see race, or Just Mercy reshape conversations on justice, that’s the power of narrative. Policy and markets are downstream of culture.
While documentaries reach audiences already engaged, narrative films can slip beneath defenses and cross communities, transforming perspective and planting seeds for real action.
Hollywood isn’t just entertainment — it’s a cultural megaphone. A single release can reach millions across borders, languages, and ideologies.
That scale matters for climate, racial justice, equity, health, immigration, gender, disability, and all the intersectional struggles that our communities carry.
Here’s how we do it:
Bridge Story and Movement — We support filmmakers telling stories that unpack power, race, identity, climate, and marginalization with clarity and conviction.
Connect with Communities — We ensure films aren’t just distributed, but anchored in movement strategies that reach impacted audiences, activists, and changemakers.
Ground in Truth & Strategy — We partner with scholars, community organizers, faith leaders and more so the narratives are rooted in lived experience, data, and viable solutions.
Fuel Structural Change — We connect films to policy, advocacy campaigns, cultural shifts, and institutions — because storytelling alone isn’t enough without follow-through.
Join us as we use the screens people trust to change the things we can’t ignore.
