Narratives are a deeply meaningful way that we learn about ourselves, each other and the world. And film can be a powerful medium for expression, connection and learning, helping to build empathy and understanding.
Learning for Justice Through Film builds on our program’s 30-year history of educational films, with learning opportunities for classrooms and communities. Film can bring liberation to life, inspiring and challenging us to build a more inclusive, multiracial democracy. This moment — in which democratic values are being weakened and history erased or altered — requires commitment from each of us to learn and teach honestly about our experiences and our nation’s past, including the “hard histories” of oppression and injustice.
Let’s learn together for the purpose of justice, share our experiences, and build the civic knowledge and skills for collective action.
