This fund was active from late 2016 through December 2018.  Through this Fund, Fledgling supported short films and other nonfiction visual stories that could be completed and distributed quickly in order to spur understanding and dialogue around important policy issues.   We are proud of the projects that we supported through this initiative, but are no longer accepting applications through this fund.
