Active Voice is a team of communications experts who specialize in working with powerful films to advance movements for social change. We work with filmmakers to ensure that their films can be embedded within a movement through practical and sustained channels, and we work with nonprofits, foundations, and public agencies to enhance their communications using story in innovative ways. With all of our partners, it’s about engaging audiences meaningfully. One of the first organizations of its kind, Active Voice brings a genuine understanding of the value of storytelling to move the meter on some of the most difficult-to-tackle issues of our time. A spin-off from the PBS series POV, since 2001 Active Voice has influenced local, regional, and national dialogue on issues including immigration, criminal justice, healthcare, and education.
