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
House of UnAmerican Activities is both a personal look at a father by a son who never really knew him and a pointed look at the era of 1950s McCarthyism.
"A documentary that mixes personal and public history as it describes the 1956 persecution of Marx’s father - a Jewish refugee who fled Germany in 1939 and joined the Communist Party in 1945." - J. Rosenbaum, The Reader
"A tension caught between De Antonio revelation and the lyricism of personal filmmaking. Quite an achievement in the sheer efficacy of its telling." - Bruce Jenkins, Walker Art Center
In this fiction period drama, 12 year old Karl Feinstein is squeezed between his parents hidden Communist Party activities and the social pressures of an all-American teen. He learns that sometimes manhood means doing what authority says is wrong.
