“On behalf of the City of Chicago, I am honored to express my support for this year’s festival, and I applaud One Earth on their continued and steadfast effort to convene, educate and mobilize Chicago communities through acclaimed films and a proven awareness-to-action model.”

“This [One Earth Film Festival] really makes you re-evaluate the way you live your life.”

“The film was engaging and educational, but the real treat was the discussion afterwards.”

“[OEFF] is a wonderful program. I especially like the way it incorporates multiple neighborhoods, offering more people the opportunity to become informed on these issues.”

“I think [these are] some of the biggest issues that face our neighborhoods today and how we might be able to get more marginalized communities or folks who aren’t ‘the choir’ to come out.”
