Journeys in Film
2024
Journeys in Film has been a leading force in global education for over a decade. They harness the storytelling power of film and quality standards-based lesson plans to inspire and engage students in learning. They identify feature-length, English- and foreign-language narrative and documentary films to engage students in active learning, exploring issues such as poverty, refugees, climate change and pandemics. Moving beyond lectures and textbooks, their goal is to provide insight, transform preconceptions and prejudices, and foster genuine cultural understanding, using films as springboards for interdisciplinary lesson plans.
Examples include He Named Me Malala, a film and lesson guide that celebrates the dedication of Malala Yousafzai to the cause of girls' education worldwide, and Beat the Drum, a contemporary South African film about the devastation of HIV/AIDS.
Journeys in Film is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is working in partnership with USC’s Rossier School of Education. Rossier’s mission is to improve learning in urban education locally, nationally and globally.
