Did you know that our film guides feature introductions to the films?
They also almost always include a letter from the filmmaker and/or a filmmaker profile, and sometimes include behind the scenes stories about the making of the film.
Many of our film guides include #MediaLiteracy lessons tied to that specific film, and we also offer more generally applicable media literacy and #FilmLiteracy lessons and teaching tools as well. For example, our #SchindlersList guide includes a letter from Steven Spielberg with an amazing story from the film set. Our #Wadjda film guide includes a profile on Haifaa al-Mansour, the first woman film director in Saudi Arabia. And our #HiddenFigures guide explores shooting scripts with real script pages from the film.
Our film guides are free for everyone. Whether you're an educator, an individual learner or a film fan, check out our resource library to learn more.

Our free film-based educational resources, including lesson plans and film discussion guides, cover a range of social justice themes and are designed for classes across the curriculum. (Yes, STEM teachers, this means your classes, too.)
The common thread across our work is teaching empathy, understanding, and media literacy. This work matters more than ever.
If you are an educator in any context, including homeschooling, libraries, museums, higher ed, community activism or film clubs, we're here to help. Check out our library of free resources (we're a non-profit precisely so we can help educators for free) and let us know if you have any questions.
If you're a social impact filmmaker who'd like to partner with us & expand the lifespan & reach of your film, please get in touch!
