You have the power to help change the world by creating an opportunity for people to connect across religion, ideology, political affiliation and geography. As our country bends under the weight of being divided, Odyssey’s mission and work has never been more urgent.
Odyssey’s work connects secular and faith-based communities across the country to powerful, true stories that spotlight the most pressing issues of our time. Now, more than ever, we need to bring the work of filmmakers to the work of changemakers.
Your support will help Odyssey Impact change lives and communities using strategic social impact campaigns that build awareness, drive attitude, change and catalyze the kind of lasting action that can occur when a powerful film gets into the right hands.

Our impact campaign for Milwaukee 53206 helped criminal justice reform organizations advocate for the release of the film’s main subject, Mr. Baron Walker, who is now reunited with his community and family.

TESTIMONIALS
The Recy Taylor viewing and panel merged both digital media and public discourse, two mediums that are deeply reflective of how I like to engage. Sensory learning merged with the opportunity to talk through thoughts and ideas offers such a meaningful experience.
A screening of Odyssey’s Milwaukee 53206 film lent experiential weight to our decision to apply for (a grant) that funded a Restorative Justice program. In that grant, we began to experiment with a hybrid field education placement, which brought together an Louisville Seminary student, a local congregation, Louisville Seminary faculty members, an expert in Restorative Justice from another local university, and a program that created a Circles of Support and Accountability for a returning citizen.”
The Rape of Recy Taylor was more powerful and moving than I could have ever imagined. I've never been in a class where a film had that kind of effect on the students. I've never experienced this in my life. From day one, as a teacher, I have been an advocate of digital learning. I've always used film. I've never experienced this in my life.
