Films that Empower the Human Spirit: Esalen’s Social Change Film Festival
Cinema can inspire, uplift, and promote positive change in the world. Examples of recently released social change films include The Bully Project, which addresses the issue of bullying in schools, and Escape Fire, about the state of our nation’s healthcare system. These are the kind of films that can truly make a difference in how people live and express their creativity, while promoting greater awareness about the important issues of our time.
