Resiliency & Grace Film Festival

By Truth 2 Power

“You don’t need to go to film school to make a movie. All you need is a camera and a story to tell.” – Jonathan Demme

Truth 2 Power brings people together at the intersection of community, education, and film.

Truth 2 Power

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Ashley Dawson and Brooklyn Demme founded Truth 2 Power in order to bring people together at the intersection of community, education, and film.

In the Resiliency and Grace Film Festival by Truth 2 Power, we will honor, celebrate, and learn from filmmakers who articulate messages of divine justice, freedom, sovereignty, and faith in the language of film.

We welcome everyone to join us at the Nyack Center
17/02/25 & 22/02/25
for a week of nourishing films.
