Story
With antisemitism and other forms of hate on the rise in the United States, we must not become a nation of bystanders. Holocaust survivors, members of targeted communities, political and religious leaders, and scholars emphasize the importance of speaking out to combat hate. They challenge us to ask ourselves, “how can I make a difference in this world by speaking out against hate?” and they encourage us to find our voice.
We envision this film as a starting point for meaningful dialogue and positive change, and so our goal is to reach as wide an audience as possible, including the sizable segment of the population who may be aware that a problem exists, but do not think it is their place to respond – or simply do not know how to. By sharing facts, anecdotes, and actions each of us can take, the film encourages people to leave their indifference behind when they leave the theater and proceed as Upstanders who, through actions large or small, engage in building a safer and more accepting society for everyone.
Thank you for your interest.
With your support, we can all make a difference.
