Films for Action

Films For Action is a community-powered, digital library for people who want to change the world. Their mission is to provide citizens with the knowledge and perspectives essential to creating a more beautiful, just, sustainable, and democratic society. Films For Action was founded in 2006 by a few friends in Lawrence, Kansas, after realizing how essential a healthy media is to a healthy democracy. Although they started out hosting community film screenings in the beginning and did so for many years, their digital library eventually became their primary focus.
