Social Impact at the JBFC

By Lori Zakalik, JBFC Marketing Manager

On Thursday, May 12, we were honored at the Westchster MLK Jr. Institute for Nonviolence’s seventh annual Celebration of Champions for all the work we do to promote social change throughout the community. With our films, events, community screenings, international fellows, and special guests, we strive to spark dialogue, eliminate prejudice, and encourage an acceptance of a diversity of perspectives among our theatergoers. Here’s a video highlighting all we’ve done to effect social change in our community in the past year.
