Our Annual Awards Celebration, 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22, is our opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of the incredible people who make our work possible. We understand that our Meaningful Movies events could not happen without incredible filmmakers, films and partner organizations that work with us to support events! REGISTER HERE! Every person who tunes into the Awards Celebration will be entered to win a fabulous prize drawing the night of the event!
For those of you who are still learning about us – the Meaningful Movies Project is a network of volunteer-run neighborhood venues that are organizing, educating, and advocating for a more peaceful and just world by showing inspirational social justice documentaries followed by facilitated conversation and a call to action.
We understand that truth and community are fundamental building blocks of real democracy. By supporting independent media and fostering important conversations about social justice issues that are often ignored by mainstream media, we are helping to inspire families, friends, neighbors, and communities to work for the common good. By creating spaces – whether online or in person – where people can come to know each other, learn about pressing issues, and talk to one another about hard topics, we are helping to bridge divides, build community, build understanding, and find common cause.
This will be a fabulous evening of fun, entertainment and inspiration! Join us as we celebrate our 2020 award winners, watch film clips, and hear from awardees, venue leaders and our supporters! And… every person who tunes into the Awards Celebration will be entered to win a fabulous prize drawing the night of the event! Join us!!!
Please note that we are holding several online special events during October: this AWARDS CELEBRATION, an AUCTION and two FILM EVENTS: RESISTERHOOD and TRUE JUSTICE. We hope you can join us at one or all of these events, help financially support Meaningful Movies Project (MMP), and celebrate the great art of documentary filmmaking!
Special Guests: Filmmakers, venue leaders, partner organizations and YOU!

It shares stories of hope that will re-energize the movement and inspire even more people to join the fight to secure a bright future for our county. Register here to be part of the screening.
