John Paget and Chris Elisara discussed the Better Cities Film Festival and the power of storytelling. They also discussed the 10th anniversary festival in Detroit last month and how the festival works with local governments, organizations and groups to enable communities everywhere to screen these stories and inspire conversation and change in their hometowns. CNU's Lauren Mayer moderated.
