2026 Film Festival

Be More Than an Audience. Be a Champion.

Sponsor or host a Defense of Democracy Film Festival in your community and help bring powerful stories of freedom, courage, and civic life to audiences who need them most. Every screening is an act of commitment — join us and make yours count.
