About American Resilience Project
ARP envisions a world where everyone enjoys abundant, sustainable resources, environmental security, prosperous local economies, and healthy civic institutions. We believe that well-told stories can unite people across divides to inspire the action required to overcome complex challenges.
In addition to our independent work, ARP helps mission-aligned organizations tell their own impact stories to convene, educate and inspire their own key audiences. Please contact us to find out how we can help you.

Our Approach
Powerful Storytelling
We create critical, compelling, and hopeful documentary films, podcasts, and other media designed to highlight important issues and illuminate pathways to solutions. We specialize in using film as a convening tool to mobilize support for public policies, investments, and behavioral change.
Strategic Partnerships
We join forces with other mission-aligned organizations by providing them with the strategic narrative tools required to communicate complex, often polarizing topics. Our films serve as anchors for advocacy campaigns that help diverse audiences find agreement and common purpose to confront the climate crisis.
Policy Engagement
We produce content and host film screenings in collaboration with our partners to convene policymakers, business leaders, civic organizations and the general public. Our films are accompanied by resource toolkits that facilitate learning and influence changes to public policy.
Free and Accessible Content
We believe in the power of free access to information. All our media is available for free on our website to reach the widest possible audience without barriers. We also produce commissioned work to tell the impact stories of mission-aligned organizations to help them achieve their own goals.
