Filmmaker Lodge
We know more than ever about what works to improve the lives of children, families, and communities. Social entrepreneurs, researchers, forward-thinking mayors, and others are using evidence and data to change lives, and the growing movement for data-driven, evidence-based policy making is nearing a tipping point. So how do we help spread these solutions more widely and rapidly across the country and make elected leaders pay closer attention to these successes? Could film and storytelling play a role in spotlighting successful examples of what inspires government leaders to act differently, and could this focus help bridge our country’s political divide?
This panel will highlight new and powerful approaches to getting better results, spotlight leaders who have the courage to use evidence and data to do what works, explore the ways that storytelling can help shift political thinking, and, ultimately, look at how this kind of solutions-oriented approach could move our nation beyond partisanship.
