Have You Had the Conversation?

Using The Conversation to open honest dialogue about consent, challenge assumptions, and help people examine the impact of their actions.

What do we owe one another?

  • How do we know when consent has truly been given?
  • What assumptions shape how we read someone else's boundaries?
  • How do our actions affect others, even when we don't intend harm?
  • Why do these conversations happen so rarely—and how can we start them?

What educators and audiences say.

"The Conversation film is an amazing realistic tool to have access for use for my High school Health Education classes. There were so many levels of discussion that was depicted from this work. I'm in hopes of gathering more content, to use a discussion pieces for future health class in my school and city."
— Annie DeRoy, Health Educator, NYC
"I don't even know what to say, aside of EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS FILM THE CONVERSATION! Because these are the types of conversations that don't happen enough, and people just move on - some walking away carrying trauma and some continue life being blissfully ignorant of the damage they cause to others. This is why it's VITAL that we invest in our personal development - from working on our emotional intelligence through learning about healthy relationships and sexuality, to the biases, blind spots, gendered perceptions of what's okay and what isn't and so much more."
— Leah Spasova, Psychologist & Sex and Relationships Educator, LIFESEXPERTS
