We build events to showcase SoapBox films with our broader community, make space for important dialogue, and support each other.  This includes project premieres, live Bourbon 'n BrownTown podcast recordings, and fundraisers.

Fundraiser Series
Fitness Against Fascism

FAF decolonizes the notion that fitness is apolitical as the event curates a space for sweat and solidarity in order to breakdown systems and institutions of oppression that affect every industry, including (and especially) the allied healthcare continuum.
