At a time when the frayed social fabric of our nation can feel beyond repair, Americans need to hear, see, and experience people coming together across their differences to solve problems and build belonging in their communities. Film is a powerful way of sharing those stories that can spark conversation and dialogue.
During the 2nd Annual Better Together Film Festival - a feature initiative of National Week of Conversation - communities across the country will host screenings of films that inspire hope and celebrate values of bridging divides. Each screening event will include a post-film activity where audience members will have the chance to reflect on the film and build connections with fellow community members.
Check out the lineup of featured films. Click to see details about each film, watch the trailers, and sign up to attend a screening event near you!
