Films that make a difference
We believe that good storytelling strengthens social movements, so every year we want to select stories from Resist to turn into films.
We asked people to upload their stories of resistance and spoke with many activists, writers and political thinkers.
Using what we learnt, we've chosen to make our first film with the actor Gael Garcia Bernal
We've spent the last few months focusing on the Wall that is being built along the entire USA border with Mexico. It is one of the greatest symbols of the divisions between rich and poor, and inspires a major investigation into the systemic causes of poverty and migration.
We've followed the death of one migrant and are currently seeking funding to expand the film to expose a global network of new Walls and the divisive impact they will have on all of our futures.
