Film guides and resources
Being an upstander is a long-term commitment to learning and self-reflection. The great thing is that we don’t have to do that learning alone. Upstander Project’s guides, interactive timelines, video interviews with film participants and filmmakers, featured primary and secondary sources, and other tools give you everything you need to gain understanding and take action. Use them on your own or with a trusted group as you build your upstander skills.
