"Take One Action's focus on empowering local audiences to engage through film with global and environmental injustice is unique in the UK. This work is really, really important."
Patrons Ken Loach & Paul Laverty
Below we list all upcoming events presented by Take One Action with opportunities to go beyond the screen.
"Take One Action brings to light stories from across the planet which – like South Africa's injustices, courage and beauty – were once hidden. Whatever you are moved to do, you can make a difference... and even more so by joining together with the person next to you. I hope the stories you are about to discover move you, and that you are inspired."
