ACTIVIZED

ACTIVIZED follows the stories of seven ordinary Americans who —for the first time in their lives—leave their comfort zones and become involved in the critical issues of our times: gun violence, voting rights and immigrants’ rights.

This film has been generously sponsored by Laura and Robert McElroy; and by Andrea Howland and Peter Cobb.

Join the Live Panel Discussion and Audience Q&A Here

At Crested Butte Film Festival we believe that film can change lives. Every year we strive to create opportunities for participants to learn and have the opportunity to act during the festival. To accompany our panel “An Unusual Route: Dialogues Around Systemic Representations” and the films exploring race in America, we’ve developed a list of resources to support your journey toward anti-racism. This is not comprehensive by any means, but we hope this helps.
