Join Net Impact and a panel of TV and film professionals as we discuss how a new generation of creators is pushing the boundaries of a typically passive medium, building movements around films to inspire action on pressing social issues.

The conversation will explore their approaches to issues and audiences, their tactics to build movements beyond the screen, and their impact to date. In short, we'll explore the power of stories to change lives.

If you're a changemaker looking to multiply your impact with storytelling, or a media maker inspired to push your projects further, this event is for you.

Moderated by
Debika Shome, Deputy Director of The Harmony Institute
The Harmony Institute was created by Buzzfeed founder John S. Johnson to better understand media’s impact on its audiences. As Deputy Director of The Harmony Institute, Debika Shome leverages her background in the psychology of environmental communications to give us a deeper look at what media is making a difference and how. Story Pilot <https://storypilot.org/>, the institute’s innovative new platform to measure films’ impacts, is currently in beta release.
