Since 1978, GroundSpark (formerly Women's Educational Media) has produced and distributed films, educational resources and campaigns on issues ranging from environmental concerns to affordable housing to preventing prejudice.

Their work now centers around The Respect For All Project, a series of films and their accompanying curriculum guides aimed at K-12 educators and students to promote diversity and anti-bias education.

Films are available for purchase or rental and you may view clips on the GroundSpark website. 

Films in the Respect for All Project include:

Lets Get Real: Examines issues that lead to taunting and bullying, including racial
differences, perceived sexual orientation, learning disabilities,
religious differences, sexual harassment and others.

It's Elementary: The groundbreaking film that addresses anti-gay prejudice by providing
adults with practical lessons on how to talk with children about gay
people.

Straighlaced: Teenagers open up about how they are limited by gender role
expectations and their process of finding ways to really be themselves.
Slated for release in 2008.
