Newsreel Retrospective Campaign

Third World Newsreel (TWN), the long-standing media arts center dedicated to social justice media by and about historically marginalized communities, invites you to support our mission as we present theatrical screenings of our Newsreel Retrospective (1968–1972). 

"The Newsreel Retrospective remind us that communities have long resisted oppression and built power together," says JT Takagi, Executive Director of TWN. "We're honored to bring these stories to audiences in theaters, where their impact can be felt collectively."

Your donation helps us continue this vital work of preserving and sharing social justice media. Please consider supporting Third World Newsreel today to ensure these important stories reach future generations.

This retrospective marks the culmination of a two-year initiative led by JT Takagi and Film Archivist Draye Wilson to digitally preserve 60 early Newsreel films, with preservation work completed at Metropolis in New York City.
