ABOUT UNCHARITABLE: A FILM AND CONVERSATION

Genre: Documentary + Conversation

WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / TWITTER

Following the screening of Uncharitable, join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring voices from the nonprofit sector and philanthropy. This conversation will explore the film’s themes through a local lens, with insights from a representative of a nonprofit organization, a philanthropist, and the Chief Impact Officer of the Aspen Community Foundation. Together, they’ll explore how to rethink charitable giving, challenge perceptions, and strengthen community impact.

ABOUT UNCHARITABLE

What if charity could be transformed from a gesture to an answer— to solving the world’s greatest problems? What if everything we’ve been taught about charitable giving is wrong? What if it’s undermining the very causes, we love the most? “Uncharitable” is a one-of-a-kind movie that shows how our charitable traditions and prejudices have suffocated the charitable sector and prevented it from leading the charge to truly change the world. Based on the book, “Uncharitable,” by Dan Pallotta, which became one of the most talked-about TED talks of all time—changing everything from charity watchdog standards to the giving practices of America’s biggest foundations — Uncharitable follows the stories of four iconic American charitable efforts that were crippled or destroyed by old ideas. Step-by-step, and with a chorus of leading voices in the field, the movie shows how charity’s real power has been misunderstood and undermined by anachronistic ideas about frugality and deprivation and takes the viewer on a journey from sach-cloth and ashes to a place where unleashed, charities can play the leading role in creating an unimaginably beautiful world that works for everyone. No topic is more crucial or timelier as we confront a world with increasingly complex problems, with the least of us left behind, and with the growing revelation that we are all interconnected and that our fate lies in our willingness to turn away from old ideas that have not worked and embraced radically new ones that can.
