Of more than 250 applicants, Not In Our Town is honored to be one of the eight film teams chosen to participate in Good Pitch. The Good Pitch brings together filmmakers with NGOs, foundations, philanthropists, brands and media around leading social issues – to forge coalitions and campaigns that are good for all these partners, good for the films and good for society. The Good Pitch, sponsored by Channel4 BRITDOC Foundation in partnership with the Sundance Film Institute Documentary Film Program is going into its third year of international events and it continues to build momentum. We will be at the first Good Pitch that will take place at the Ford Foundation in New York City on May 20.
