It is a common refrain that the Democratic Party has not been able to tell its story, or that the environmental movement has lost its narrative. Recently in The New York Times, Emory University professor Drew Westen captured the frustration of an electorate hungry for a story affirming that the government will protect the interests of the many against the few. Westen, Margaret Atwood (author of Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth), Senator Barbara Boxer, and Mark Kitchell (A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle For A Living Planet) discuss why storytelling is embedded in the human psyche, and how the right story can change history.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
