Stories don't just entertain—they have the power to heal, inspire, and change the world.

🎞️ The Humanity Rising Film Festival presents a new opportunity to learn from filmmakers, storytellers, and changemakers who are using film to create a better world.

🎧 Listen to an inspiring conversation between film producer and successful business leader Steve Sarowitz and Richard Roeper, then complete a short survey to earn 1 Service Learning Hour.

💭 Students who complete the survey will also have the opportunity to submit a question for Steve. Selected questions may be featured during an upcoming virtual Humanity Rising event with Steve Sarowitz (date to be announced) as part of our REEL Changemakers Series and Humanity Rising Film Festival program.

⭐️ Whether you dream of becoming a filmmaker, entrepreneur, philanthropist, or simply want to make a difference, your story matters.

🎧 Listen to the podcast episode: Billionaire Behind "It Ends With Us" Breaks His Silence on Baldoni Case and 'Moving On'

💻 Reflect: Complete the post-event survey and earn 1-service learning hour!

🎬 Students are encouraged to take the next step: Create your own REEL or short film that inspires kindness, belonging, resilience, compassion, mental well-being, or positive social change. Selected student films and videos will be featured during the Humanity Rising Film Festival, with the opportunity to be showcased in Steve Sarowitz's theater in the greater Chicago area.

One story can change the world. And the next story could be yours. 💙
