This is CMP’s “Community Model of Philanthropy” in action.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
When individuals act collectively they are a powerful force for change.
Great storytelling speaks truth to power.
Media is the platform to elevate and catalyze communities to action.
Documentaries create emotional connections to the issues of our time:
From racial injustice to gun violence
From climate change to fair democracy
From gender equality to human rights…and more.
Our community model of philanthropy propels great documentaries out into the world to make an impact.
