GroundSpark and Citizen Film Unite!

GroundSpark, under the direction of Debra Chasnoff (1957-2017) made award-winning documentary films for three decades on social justice issues ranging from preventing bullying in schools to stopping the production of nuclear weapons. 

Today, the Debra Chasnoff/GroundSpark Catalogue of Films is a project of San Francisco-based documentary media non-profit, Citizen Film.  Under the direction of Debra Chasnoff’s long-time collaborator, Kate Stilley Steiner, Citizen Film will continue to distribute the GroundSpark film catalog through New Day Films, and future films created under the GroundSpark label will be produced by Citizen Film.

Our newest film PROGNOSIS – notes on living is a deeply moving personal memoir about GroundSpark founder Debra Chasnoff’s experience living with advanced cancer. The film invites audiences to talk about end of life issues, community care, and what it means to live with intentionality up to the last breath.
