A Closer Look is a nonprofit organization that produces and promotes trauma informed media, education and conversations.

By sharing unique perspectives through film and other creative media, we promote interdisciplinary and trans-generational discussions. Our trauma-informed focus mission is to minimize suffering, maximize empathy, and inspire action on health and social justice issues.

Our current projects include educational outreach with perspectives on childhood identity, intolerance, disability, childhood trauma, resilience and race. ACL also acts as a fiscal sponsor for filmmakers whose work fits the organization’s mission. Click on Educational Outreach to learn more about individual outreaches.
