Left, right. In, out. Greed, altruism. Us, them. These are the defaults and they are broken. We are the alternative model. We are the reasonable people who give a damn. No dogma. No party lines. No borders. We care about what works--what is sustainable, prosperous, productive, creative, and just--for all of us and each of us. This isn’t easy, but we are not afraid to fail. We’ll figure it out as we go.
Good is a collection of people, businesses, moms, kids, artists, organizations, policymakers, students, teachers, and engineers. Everyone is participating in one simple idea that each is elevated by being connected to others.
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.
