Overview
Everything you know about change... is about to change.
After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector. Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints, so that they can truly change the world.
Review
UnCharitable
A film-length extension of Dan Pollata’s amazing TED Talk, Uncharitable should be watched by anyone who cares about the nonprofit industry. We hold nonprofits back and criticize them when they do well, so how will we ever see change in the world? Hint: we have to change our thinking and celebrate when nonprofits do well. Impact is what matters.
