"Movies That Move Us: Using Film to Support Organizing" — a free, lively one-hour session for social justice staff and activists who want to harness the power of film in their work. Two sessions are being held for global access.
Whether you've screened dozens of movement films with your team or you're just curious about trying it, this session is for you. We'll share experiences, swap ideas, and explore what makes film such a powerful organizing tool.
What we'll explore:
-
How film screenings can spark action — building emotional connection to campaigns and communities
-
Using movement films with staff or activist groups to inspire reflection, celebrate wins, and ground learning in real histories of struggle
-
Best practices for choosing, hosting, and following up on screenings
