From Here

• The feature-length documentary From Here
• A series of short films developed alongside the feature, each paired with its own impact screenings and workshop formats
• Facilitated impact screenings in community, educational, and civic settings
• School- and university-based workshops on citizenship, migration, and belonging
• Partnerships with educators, cultural institutions, advocacy organizations, and coalitions
• Ongoing integration into broader initiatives advancing inclusive democracy

Together, these elements position storytelling as a crucial pathway to cultivate power and agency, support learning and shared language, and foster dialogue across differences.

Since its release, From Here has been used as a catalyst for dialogue and learning across diverse geographic and institutional contexts.

To date, the initiative has included:

• Millions reached through public broadcast in the U.S.
• 200+ public and educational screenings across the U.S., Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa
• Tens of thousands of viewers reached through in-person and virtual events
• Screenings and workshops hosted in schools, universities, libraries, community centers, cultural institutions, and civic forums
• Ongoing use of the film and short works in classrooms, youth programs, and educator trainings

In addition to institutional settings, the project has been widely engaged in grassroots and community-based contexts, including public libraries, high schools, youth programs, community centers, and local advocacy spaces. These engagements often prioritize facilitated discussion, connecting the film's narratives to lived experience, local organizing, and civic participation.
