The accompanying Discussion Guide provides tools and exercises to host a screening of PURPLE and lead a meaningful conversation about it afterwards, supporting viewers to slow down enough to understand the characters and themes represented in the film on their own terms while discussing the value of doing so in our lives, communities, and country.

PURPLE is produced by Resetting the Table (RTT) – a non-profit organization that works to build collaborative deliberation across political silos in America today – in partnership with Transient Pictures, an Emmy-award winning production firm. RTT equips community leaders with the tools and skills to open courageous and constructive dialogue on political fault-lines issues within and across their communities. With decades of combined expertise in mediation, facilitation, and dialogue fields, RTT has developed a large and growing toolkit of programs, including intensive facilitation training for conversations across divides, communication skill-building training for clergy and community leaders, Town Square dialogues, multi-perspective educational resources, and public decision-making forums. RTT has brought together more than 28,000 community leaders and members to speak, listen, challenge each other, and make decisions together across strong differences of background and views.
