Who We Are
The Film Connection is a community of film lovers, social activists and lifelong learners who use our non-profit online film library to watch, discuss and act on compelling films from around the globe. An initiative of the global humanitarian agency Mercy Corps, The Film Connection offers a growing library of DVDs that tackle the issues facing the world we live in.
The Film Connection was founded in Seattle, Washington in 2003 by a group of social entrepreneurs who believe in the power of film to effect change. In 2006, it became a part of Mercy Corps, one of the world’s leading humanitarian aid agencies, and relocated to Mercy Corps’ headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The Film Connection lets Mercy Corps engage with thoughtful, active cinema fans across the country; meanwhile, Mercy Corps provides Film Connection members an opportunity to take direct action on a host of important issues. To learn more about Mercy Corps, visit www.mercycorps.org.
Our library consists of hundreds of DVDs, and it’s growing all the time. The films include documentaries, dramas, foreign rarities and American blockbusters. We work to acquire entertaining and compelling films with authentic visions and voices that explore the world and the human condition. Using member recommendations as a starting point, we do our best to provide films that approach a broad range of subject matter from a wide variety of viewpoints.
