ARC was founded on the transformative power of storytelling - and the ability to change people's hearts and minds through understanding someone else's experience. It is through understanding and advocacy that oppressive policies are changed and the way we understand and value each other alters. To truly understand and address systemic injustice, we must listen, learn, and believe people with firsthand experience. Films have the ability to amplify the voices of people impacted by—and fighting against—injustice. By sharing stories by creating short films and documentaries, we aim to not only educate those who may have different experiences, but to connect and understand that we are all human, we all make mistakes, and we are all deserve empathy, compassion, and redemption.
