UnCharitable

After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector. Beginning with Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired top philanthropists and change-makers, this feature documentary exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In an emotional call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints, so that they can truly change the world. No topic is more crucial and timelier as we confront an increasingly unstable world with the growing revelation that we are all interconnected and that our fate lies in how much we are willing to invest in positive change.

“Through interviews with some of the greatest minds in philanthropy, the film leads you to an inescapable conclusion: We must rethink our notions of how we give, because the way we do it now betrays our generosity.” — Rhona Gordon
