Any amount will help!

Funds can also be donated directly through Venmo @peopleinneed without processing

Trailer: That Change I Have Seen

Trailer for the Cannes Film Festival Award Winning short film, "That Change I Have Seen" directed, produced, filmed, and edited by Samantha Grace Schulte.

"A blunt reality emerged early on in the coronavirus pandemic — certain communities were hit particularly hard. Little Pakistan in Central Brooklyn is one of them. It is here that we meet Nowshin Ali and Anurag Shrivastava, restaurateurs of a delicious local Indian spot and co-founders of a nonprofit that supports low-income, immigrant families. That Change I Have Seen is a meditation on the power of crises to lay bare our deepest inequalities, and reveal our greatest heroes."
