Come out for the 2nd Annual Denver Community Film Fest! The night will feature a reception, screening & post-film discussion of the documentary Truth Be Told on May 21st, 2026.

About Truth Be Told: This fly-on-the-wall documentary takes viewers inside newsrooms across Colorado, revealing how local journalists report, verify, and connect with the communities they serve. Filmmaker Brian Malone traveled the state to spotlight reporters, editors, and broadcasters navigating shrinking resources, rising misinformation, and growing public distrust. Part of the Free Press, Free Country project, the film underscores why a free, independent press remains essential to democracy.

The event will take place at the Historic Elitch Theater, a 135 year old Northside theater. The only remaining building from the former site of the Elitch Amusement Park. This will be a community-focused gathering designed to spark meaningful discussions about independent journalism, civic engagement, and ways to strengthen all of our communities.

Tickets are FREE but an RSVP is required. Due to limited space please only reserve tickets if you are planning to attend. We strongly encourage participants to make a donation during registration or bring canned goods to support the Bienvenidos Food Bank program.
