During the month of May, the Vancouver Island Chapter of CAGP invite your to enjoy the movie UnCharitbale from the comfort of your own home, office, or wherever you enjoy the movies!
For just $5, you will be able to enjoy the movie anytime during the month (note the link expires May 31st) and you can even enjoy it more than once (or for those like me with kids - you can start and stop at any time when you have a free moment)...the only thing we ask is that you do take the time to watch it - UnCharitbale is truly transformational.
A brief bio on the movie
A film by Stephen Gyllenhaal
What if charity could be transformed from a gesture to an answer—to solving the world’s greatest problems? What if everything we’ve been taught about charitable giving is wrong? What if it’s undermining the very causes we love the most? Uncharitable is a one-of-a-kind movie that shows how our charitable traditions and prejudices have suffocated the charitable sector and prevented it from leading the charge to truly change the world.
Based on the book, “Uncharitable,” by Dan Pallotta, the film follows the stories of four iconic American charitable efforts that were crippled or destroyed by old ideas. Step-by-step, and with a chorus of leading voices in the field, the movie shows how charity’s real power has been misunderstood and undermined by anachronistic ideas about frugality and deprivation and takes the viewer on a journey from sackcloth and ashes to a place where unleashed, charities can play the leading role in creating an unimaginably beautiful world that works for everyone.
