Through our DRIVE on Change Film Library and Student Script Competition, educators and students engage with powerful storytelling across film.
In collaboration with schools and colleges across the country, teachers have on-demand access to impactful short films, curriculum guides, and filmmaker Q&As, while students are invited to connect with and learn from filmmakers. Together, these initiatives foster storytelling, critical thinking, creativity, and health awareness.
Thanks to the generous support of our Council, these programs are offered at no cost to schools.


We showcase independent films that highlight pressing health challenges—environmental clean up, safer food and more.
Following its Festival screening, of “Healthy Award” winning films, will be exposed to students extending the films message into our local community. Through our DRIVE on CHANGE Education Program, films will be introduced into classrooms, where students engage in guided discussion experiences that will influence their future decisions.
We're helping new health focused filmmakers make an impact
With health focused stories just a small percentage of top films, we’re committed to spotlighting health focused stories and creating a more mainstream industry. In partnership with the Patient First Coalition we champion bold, relevant, and diverse new voices in film. We also help place these films with networks and platforms.
The Mission Council helps support the advancement of health related storytellers.

With your support, we aim to reach 5,000 students annually, use film to foster national dialogue, and elevate health focused voices in cinema. Become a Mission Council Member and help ensure the stories that matter are seen, heard, and felt.
