"If I were talking to a 65-year-old man from Tennessee who watches Fox News, I would not articulate the story of interbeing. I would speak from an understanding of the story of interbeing, and I would try to speak in a way that communicates to him and will be received." - Charles Eisenstein

Hi there.

I bet you've seen some great "films for action" that aren't in our library yet.

Why not add that documentary or video directly to our library? Half of our best content was added by members. Submissions just need to be non-fiction, embeddable (like from Youtube or Vimeo), and related to activism or changing the world in some way.

Here are some more tips on adding videos. We'd love you to become a regular contributor!

Cheers,
The Films For Action team
