HOPE

Hope has guts.

How do we find hope when life may give us every reason to lose it?

Key art for the film HOPE: a young woman looking straight at the camera in warm red light, beside the title and the line “Hope has guts.”

About the film

Through honest stories, accessible brain science and practical tools, HOPE explores how we move through grief, uncertainty and life’s hardest moments — and how we can build hope in ourselves and each other.

Why HOPE

A short note from the director on why this film is about hope rather than grief. Coming soon.

Help bring HOPE to life

HOPE is in production now, and making it takes funding. We are raising $100,000 to support this project.

A gift here goes to the film itself rather than to our general work.
