SERIES 1 IMPACT

In 2020, eight filmmaking teams from across the country were selected to create short films about bold and unlikely change-makers who inspire us to jump in and get involved in civic issues close to our homes and hearts.

The films premiered at Hot Docs in 2021, and went on to screen at several other Canadian and International film festivals before being broadcast on Crave TV. Beyond that, an impact and engagement strategy was activated to ensure the films were used as tools for change in educational, community and professional settings.
