Media Projects, founded in 1978 by filmmakers Allen Mondell and Cynthia Salzman Mondell, is a production and distribution company that tackles pressing social issues through powerful and personal films. Their diverse range of projects includes documentaries on African American studies, aging, caregiving and illness, American history, children, youth and families, Jewish life, mental health, museums, substance abuse and violence prevention, and women's studies. They also create films that celebrate events and individuals who have made a lasting impact on society. With a commitment to driving positive change, Media Projects' films aim to personalize and shed light on some of the most challenging issues of our time.
Some of their notable projects include "In Her Shoes," which explores the lives of incarcerated women through the lens of the shoes they wear, "A Reason to Live," a powerful documentary on teen and young adult depression and suicide, and "Sisters of '77," a vibrant film that recounts the revolutionary Conference on Women's Rights in Houston in 1977. Media Projects also delves into international issues with films like "The Monster Among Us," which exposes anti-Semitism in Europe, and "Waging Peace: The Peace Corps Experience," which shares the experiences of Peace Corps volunteers through their letters, journals, and blogs. Through their thought-provoking films, Media Projects aims to inspire dialogue, raise awareness, and foster positive social change.
