Many are surprised to discover the abundance of thought-provoking films on Wisconsin Public Television – topics ranging from race and diversity, social justice and history to education, the arts and civic engagement. These topics resonate in communities throughout Wisconsin.
Reel2Real engages your community by supporting local screenings of acclaimed PBS films followed by discussion events featuring local experts and community leaders. These public screenings have and continue to foster community discussion, bring difficult issues to light and encourage participants to consider diverse perspectives.
Support for Reel2Real comes from the Alliant Energy Foundation and Friends of Wisconsin Public Television. Reel2Real is a partnership of Wisconsin Public Television and the Wisconsin Library Association. For more information please contact Lynne Blinkenberg.
