A greater knowledge of social issues means more effective social action.  First Friday Films offers an inspiring series of solutions-focused films. Each is created to educate, spark conversation and stir the con­scious viewer to act on issues of social justice, ecological responsibility, politics and more. This is an opportunity to see that social actions really can—and do—work in the real world.
