Support Mountainfilm on Tour Savannah

Mountainfilm on Tour Savannah uses the power of film to inspire audiences to create a better world. Our education program, Movies that Matter, allows us to screen inspirational documentary films for public school students in Savannah, Chatham County and Effingham County. 

In an effort to make this high-quality programming easily accessible, the program is free. Movies that Matter also provides customized educational materials in support of the films that can be used in the classroom before and after the screenings. The films selected to be a part of Movies that Matter go beyond  entertainment. They are short in length, but deep in content and effective in message. These viewings, coupled with question and answer sessions with the personalities from the films, create life-changing experiences for area students. 

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Mountainfilm on Tour Savannah has created an online Movies that Matter program for local public school teachers and students. In January 2020, we were able to screen films for almost 5,000 students. This online format will allow us to share films with even more students. Educators are currently in need of high-quality programming for their students. Our goal is to inspire these students and to instill in them a sense of open mindedness, self-awareness and regard for their community and the world as a whole. These messages are incredibly relevant today. 

Like most nonprofits, we are feeling the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Many of the foundations and corporations that support Movies that Matter simply don't have the resources to donate at this time. 

We continue to believe in the importance -- and the relevance -- of our mission. Now, more than ever. The amazing stories  we are hearing every day about healthcare workers risking their lives to save others on the front lines of the global pandemic, countries taking in the sick from neighboring nations, communities creating beautiful music together and neighbors helping neighbors—these are the stories of Mountainfilm. These stories inspire us to be better. To do more. To create a better world. 

We at Mountainfilm on Tour—Savannah are committed to our mission. And with your help, we can continue to bring amazing, inspiring documentary films to Savannah's students.
