Uncharitable

A film by Stephen Gyllenhaal

What if everything we’ve been taught about charity is wrong? What if our beliefs are undermining the causes we love? Uncharitable is the world’s first feature-length documentary to examine our most basic ideas about giving. It re-shuffles old notions about saints and sinners, heroes and heretics, good and greed. It follows the stories of three record-breaking entrepreneurial charitable initiatives that were mercilessly attacked by the media, ultimately devastating the very people the initiatives were helping. It features activist and entrepreneur Dan Pallotta, whose TED Talk on charity was voted the most persuasive TED talk of all time by the TED community.

Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal, Uncharitable presents a radical idea: give nonprofits the same economic freedoms as businesses, allowing them to drive world-changing solutions. Featuring Edward Norton, Darren Walker, and other philanthropic leaders, the film weaves poignant stories into a hopeful, emotional journey that reimagines a world that works for all.
