Be the Media, Change the World: Here's How Everyone Can be a Part of the Media Revolution

If you like Films For Action, this says a lot about what we're about and where we're trying to go with the project. 

Several years ago, like so many others, we got tired of the most influential news outlets failing to inform the public
about so many critical issues. But rather than wait for these media
conglomerates to reform, we decided: better to just become the media
ourselves. We don't need to wait on anything; each one of us can become a
micro distribution network for the news that matters.

It took us a couple years to get to this point, however. In 2004 a group of friends and I watched a documentary called The Corporation,
which quite frankly blew our minds. This was information we had never
heard about from the media, from school, from our friends or families.
It was information which felt lucid and profound, conveying a truth
about how the world worked that unraveled many of the problems in our
society and pointed to a deep-root strategy to solve them.

"This should be front page news!" We said to ourselves. "They should
be teaching these fundamentals in school, broadcasting this information
all over the news." But they weren't, and this made us question why.
