Renewing the Collective Heart of Democracy

Mar 10, 2017

Films for the Planet is featuring a series of informative films and resources for those who are awakening to a renewed sense of civic duty, and who want to rev up their resistance and resilience toolkits. This program includes a list of excellent organizations that encourage discourse by building relationships across political, cultural, racial and religious divides. You can watch online, or with the Art of Hosting Film guidelines you can ignite conversations by hosting a party, group, or educational screening. Using film as a creative catalyst in community settings allows people to connect with others and engage in thoughtful discussions and civic actions that add enormous value to our communities and our world.

Gene Sharp

“We do violence in politics when we demonize the opposition or ignore urgent human needs in favor of politically expedient decisions.”
