Starting the Conversation

We believe in the power of media to amplify unheard stories and bring communities together. Time and again, we’ve seen how a film screening and discussion can unearth new possibilities and alliances in communities, for example, bringing former prisoners and correctional officials into an honest public exchange.

We offer all our films in different lengths to fit your event. For a party at your house, a statewide campaign, or an outreach tool for a national effort, Thousand Kites films can have a powerful impact on your community's dialogue about criminal justice and human rights.

Thousand Kites is pleased to launch our project with the awarding winning documentary Up the Ridge.
