BeCause: Social Change through Storytelling

The BeCause Foundation uses storytelling to bring home compassion and understanding to anyone willing to watch their documentaries.  The goals are social change, widespread problem-solving, and complex social problems addressed with innovation and determination and often love.
BeCause films showcase the extraordinary compassion, resourcefulness, and dedication of ordinary people and communities: A doctor who treats the homeless in Pittsburgh (One Bridge to the Next); An innovative, multi-disciplinary group of professionals supporting child sexual abuse victims in Chicago (Alone No Love); A remarkable community of refugees from Burma risking their lives to help their own (Crossing Midnight); A small Southern town dealing with rapid and culturally complex demographic change (Welcome to Shelbyville).
BeCause pioneers in the synthesis of community campaigns, social media, and video projects.  You can learn more by visiting their website.
