If you are unsure about how to approach a post-viewing discussion with your family and friends, take a look at our discussion guide, which, although written with public screenings in mind, can offer some useful perspectives on small-scale viewings as well.

The main thing is to recognize that everyone takes in information in different ways, and at their own pace. Effective educators focus on facilitating and supporting the learning and development of others rather than attempting to simply persuade others to adopt their point of view. This principle plays out similarly on an interpersonal level. When people see that you are sincere and non-judgmental, and that you don't have an agenda of making them think or behave in a certain way, a much deeper, more authentic sharing becomes possible.
   


When it comes to the values that are closest to our hearts, sometimes it is hardest to share them with the people we care about most. Moral and ethical issues, and matters of conscience that are of crucial importance, can go unexplored in families or between lifelong friends because of a concern that strong feelings will result in conflict.

Oftentimes, what makes dialogue difficult is a lack of common experience around the issue at hand. Discussion of abstractions can lead to misunderstanding or frustration.

This is where viewing a Tribe of Heart documentary with your loved ones can make all the difference. The stories they share, presented in a sensitive, non-judgemental manner, offer a vehicle for exploring complex justice issues without defensiveness. Having a shared experience of emotional and intellectual discovery helps establish common ground that opens the door for some amazing interpersonal dialogue.
