Our Mission: To engage diversity through Film. To bring understanding and reflection to the common human values that bind us both because of and in spite of our diversity.
Our Cause: Net proceeds of ticket sales will go towards need based scholarships for Cincinnati Public High School for the Cincinnati Sister Cities Youth Ambassador Program (India). Students learn about the culture history, diversity and economy of India through classes and travel. Students are then paired with local corporate mentors and University students as a first step towards making University education their goal.
