Celebrating Film
and Connection:
2024 Gathering
What does it mean to rise above adversity, stay rooted in values, and cultivate resilience?
Our 2024 film campaign and Gathering, "Rising, Rooted, and Resilient," explores these questions through the inspiring stories of individuals and communities transforming their lives and landscapes through regenerative farming, cultural revitalization, and the power of connection.

Partner Testimonial
"The most meaningful part of the process of working with Thriving Communities was the kindness and professionalism demonstrated by their entire team! Their documentary film took our organization to a totally different level of exposure and credibility and told our story in a most compelling way that touched the hearts and minds of our entire community."
