This Giving Tuesday, we’re giving you an exclusive opportunity to stream Uncharitable, the explosive new film by Stephen Gyllenhaal. Don’t delay! The producers have made the film available to our supporters through the weekend, with access expiring Sunday, December 3rd, until midnight ET.
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, the film 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.
