About American INSIGHT
Who We Are
American INSIGHT's mission is to promote the history and values of Free Speech, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law by empowering students and independent filmmakers to discuss how these values are expressed in societies around the world.
What We Do
Through live events and multimedia digital content, our goal is to provide students with fresh outlook on the core values of our nation’s history, and how these values inspire filmmakers around the globe.
American INSIGHT has developed its online course, Make History Everyday! for use by individuals, institutions, libraries and schools. We provide a number of pricing options to meet various needs, and look forward to discussing them with you.
Why We Do It

American INSIGHT provides the tools to help students speak out against injustice through the power of film and social media.
By producing live events and multimedia digital content, our goal is to provide students with a fresh and lasting outlook on the core values of our nation's history, and how these values continue to inspire filmmakers around the globe.
The development of American INSIGHT’s infrastructure and business processes has been funded by private donors and enabled by thousands of hours of volunteer help. The value of our volunteer efforts over the past decade are estimated at over $2,000,000. Our mission and vision are not small; and our programs have been developed by dedicated and committed both full-time and part-time volunteers. As of 2024, our systems integration has been tested, and is ready for marketing and implementation. We will expand our Board of Directors this Spring.
