OUR FILMS AND CAMPAIGNS

Our Films and Campaigns

We make films that create change.

GroundSpark produces documentaries on a variety of social justice issues, ranging from environmental concerns to preventing prejudice.

Our work now centers around The Respect For All Project, a series of films and their accompanying curriculum guides aimed at K-12 educators and students to promote diversity and anti-bias education. We also produce films for other non-profit organizations whose values we share.
