Lightworkers will be screened at the Prospector Theater at 7 PM on Thursday, October 15. Ken Burns said of the film, “This is great. Scary, sobering, thoughtful…”

Acclaimed director Bobby Roth (Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, Miami Vice) not only asks the question, “What can we do as individuals to make the world a better place?” but also shows how collective action can bring about momentous change. The film interviews artists, activists, educators, and political leaders to explore what moved them to turn their values into action in defense of democracy. They are Lightworkers—people who act to improve the world for all.

Can we all become Lightworkers? Yes, through individual acts of caring and connection. Each of us can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, and when we work toward a common goal, we can have a lasting impact. With American democracy at grave risk, each of us has a role to play as a Lightworker.

The film has also earned praise from Nicolle Wallace, who said, “The film is wonderful—it touched me deeply,” and Bruce Springsteen, who called it “excellent” and “a great work.”
