CivicMen, is the second installment in our Stories of Impact documentary series. It is a powerful, character-driven film that explores what happens when men re-engage with their communities through presence, responsibility, and civic action.Set against the backdrop of real conversations and lived experiences, the film challenges the idea that disengagement is simply apathy. Instead, it uncovers a deeper story—one rooted in disconnection, identity, and the search for purpose. Through honest dialogue and reflective storytelling, CivicMen examines how civic trust is built, how leadership is developed, and how everyday men can play a meaningful role in shaping safer, stronger communities.
At its core, the film is an invitation—calling men back into civic life not as spectators, but as active participants in the well-being of the places they call home.

In present-day Oklahoma, a young Cherokee lawyer defends the inherent jurisdiction of the Cherokee Nation in the U.S. Supreme Court. In doing so, she must wrestle with the actions of her ancestors. Alternating between the 1830s and present-day America, this epic story examines the fateful treaty that divided the Cherokee Nation’s lands and the painful repercussions descendants still live with today.
