Groundswell Events & Screenings                                        

Groundswell organizes and moderates conference panels in a new way, using video clips as discussion triggers to engage the audience and stimulate conversation. Watch this fresh methodology at work at an environmental conference called Greentown:

Review our list of suggested panel topics or choose a custom topic of your own.

  • Environmental justice, through the lens of our award-winning documentary The Return of Navajo Boy (Navajo panelists and new webisodes available)
  • The rise of the fresh food movement (many new webisodes available)
  • Cross-cultural artistic exchange, through the lens of Robben Island Singers
