Upstander Project is a brand that focuses on creating films that start necessary conversations. Their films seek to amplify historically silenced stories, serving as tools for self-reflection and community conversation. Through their thought-provoking documentaries, Upstander Project aims to spark discussions about the explicit stories told in the films, as well as the broader societal and environmental implications of those stories.

They believe that building a future where all beings and the Earth thrive together requires tough, meaningful conversations that are based on listening and understanding. Upstander Project offers various ways to access their films, including streaming for free (limited to certain films), renting or purchasing for individual viewing, and purchasing for institutional viewing. One of their notable projects, the Reciprocity Project, embraces Indigenous perspectives on reciprocity and aims to reframe relationships to the Earth, other living beings, and each other.
