The Homestretch Impact Campaign
This two-year national impact campaign included senior level federal policy engagement, targeted grassroots advocacy, educational events on ITVS’s online OVEE platform, innovative peer-to-peer program development, and over 500 community and educational screenings nationwide. Supported by PBS’s American Graduate Initiative, Fledgling Fund, Bertha Foundation, Lefkofsky Foundation, and the National Institute for Health Care Management (among others).
The film’s impact campaign was the subject of a special Case Study by the Center for Media & Social Impact at American University in DC, and was awarded the Spirit of Youth Award by the National Runaway Safeline. The Homestretch was cited as one of the inspirations behind Hidden In Plain Sight, a landmark report by Civic Enterprises and Hart Research Associates, and provided support for the University of Chicago Chapin Hall’s Voices of Youth Count project.

Kirsten Kelly created this new media resource intended to support clergy, laity, social workers, first responders and other faith leaders facing community-level trauma.

Capturing The Flag Campus Tour
Supported by the Democracy Program of Carnegie Corporation of New York, the campus tour generated a variety of educational materials based on Capturing The Flag and brought the film and its filmmakers to college campuses around the country to foster conversations between students and grassroots organizations and activists.
“We constantly hear about the importance of exercising our right to vote, but after the 2016 election cycle, with all the talk of voter suppression and gerrymandering and hacking, we had to wonder—do our votes really matter? … We thought Capturing the Flag might help us answer that question, and it did. A film every young adult needs to see. At a time when people across the nation are wondering how they can make a difference, this film says, yes, you can — here are some steps you can take.” Three Women Take On Dysfunctional Democracy in “Capturing the Flag” - Student Review in Duke Arts
