From the website: “Organizing is the New Cool is the product of collective brainstorming sessions initiated by the filmmakers to determine what, if anything, they could do to encourage greater activism among people in their Atlanta community and beyond. Dismayed that more people were not choosing to get active, they ultimately surmised that many potential organizers either did not know the path to activism or were intimidated by retrograde misconceptions about what an activist looks and acts like and how they are perceived by their peers.  The film stands as a multimedia renunciation of out molded stereotypes about activists.”

“Organizing is the New Cool bridges the gap between the youth and the elders and eliminates the invisible borders between the freedom fighter and the ordinary citizen. The film inspires viewers to take a crucial stance and play an integral role in the revitalization of a moribund humanity. Centered on the FTP Movement and its collective mobilization to provide Food, Clothing, Shelter and Justice for All, Organizing is the New Cool canvasses many faces of activism that are making an impact today.”

“It showcases how a new cadre of activists reinvent collective organizing and animate an admirably authentic and unabashedly hip leadership style which attracts followers and provokes reconsideration.”
