The Science of Character (8 mins) explores the neuroscience and social science that proves that we can shape who we are, and who we want to be in the world. The film is available with subtitles in Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, and Swahili. The Science of Character premiered to the world on the first ever Character Day, with screenings in 1,500 different schools, homes, and organizations, all on the same day, and all linked together through a global livestream Q&A (back in 2014, long before this was something that happened!). The response was so wonderful that we continued Character Day as an annual event. By the sixth year, Character Day had grown to over 200,000 events in 125 countries and all 50 states.

The Adaptable Mind (11 mins) asks the question: what are the skills we need to flourish in the 21st Century? To start the film, we asked people all over the world this question. Of the hundreds of inspiring stories that flooded in from social media, one stood out: Los Angeles-based professor and artist, Mary Beth Heffernan, was listening to coverage of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and how isolating and traumatic it must be for patients to interact only with hazmat suits for weeks on end. She thought, “what if they put pictures of their faces on the front of the suits?” Thousands of hurdles later, Mary Beth’s story reveals that, while there is a lot of fear that technology is displacing our jobs, the skills we need most in the 21st Century — curiosity, creativity, taking initiative, multi-disciplinary thinking, and empathy — happen to be skills that machines don’t have; only humans have. The film is available with subtitles in Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, and Swahili. *The Adaptable Mind was selected by the US State Department’s American Film Showcase to represent America at embassies abroad. *The Government of India organized its annual India International Science Film Festival in Chennai featuring The Adaptable Mind.
