More on Outside the Dox…

Outside the Dox: Hoosier Documentary Discussions expands the focus beyond the film - it’s a space for community, conversation, and action. Each event shines a spotlight on a locally relevant documentary, followed by an engaging discussion with filmmakers, experts, and fellow Hoosiers. Together, we’ll explore the real-world impact of these stories and how they connect to our lives and communities. Watch the film ahead of time, then join us to dive deeper, ask questions, and be part of a discussion that sparks change in our communities.

Our goal is to create a space where stories inspire action. By showcasing powerful Hoosier documentaries, Outside the Dox fosters civic engagement, deeper understanding, and meaningful connections between filmmakers, audiences, and community leaders.
