OUR MISSION
Warrior Films inspires needed social change by telling compelling stories highlighting transformational solutions.
WHAT WE DO
We believe strong communities are the pathways to guide the next generation. Through film, we inform of the long-standing cultural practices required to sustain and enrich communities. These cultural practices – mentorship, rites of passage, values, rituals, myths and stories, morals and ethics, practices of the mature masculine – are the gifts from our grandfathers and grandmothers that enrich our human experience. We spotlight community programs and groups that use long-standing cultural practices to afford the underserved the gift of human transformation to reach their full potential. They, in turn, take what they have learned and create social change in their own communities.
We spotlight community programs and groups that use effective cultural practices to afford the underserved the gift of transformation to reach their full potential.
We change public perceptions about society’s responsibility to care for underserved groups with compassion and through community.
For every film we make, we engage in grassroots outreach such as talks and screenings to ensure our films have the biggest impact.
“Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.” – Sitting Bull
Boys to Men – Calixto’s Story is a powerful and deeply personal journey of transformation. This documentary follows Calixto, a young man navigating the challenges of coming of age in a world that often fails to support boys in their emotional and personal growth. Through mentorship, guidance, and his own determination, Calixto discovers what it truly means to become a man—one rooted in integrity, resilience, and emotional intelligence. A moving exploration of masculinity, mentorship, and self-discovery, this film is an inspiring chapter in the Boys to Men series by Frederick Marx.
