Yahoo! Entertainment Highlights “UnCharitable” in Fall 2023 Movie Preview

Stephen Gyllenhaal looks at the true power of giving in the documentary Uncharitable (Sept. 22).

Abramorama has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled UnCharitable, made by filmmaker Stephen Gyllenhaal (yes, he’s also Jake’s dad). It will be opening in theaters later in September, after playing at a few summits and conferences earlier this year already.

UnCharitable is a timely and crucial documentary that uncovers the realities of philanthropy (it’s bad) and introduces a radical new way of giving. In an emotional call to action, this invigorating film demands that charities be freed from traditional constraints so they can truly change the world. Featuring Dan Pallotta, Chris Anderson (CEO of TED), Steve Nardizzi (Co-Founder of Wounded Warrior Project), Darren Walker (President of the Ford Foundation), Edward Norton (Actor & Founder of Crowdrise) and more.

Abramorama has acquired North American distribution rights to “UnCharitable,” a documentary about the roles that charities and non-profits play in society. The indie distributor will open the film on Sept. 22 in New York at Angelika’s Village East and Sept. 29 in Los Angeles at Laemmle’s Royale before beginning its North American rollout.

“UnCharitable” was directed and produced by Stephen Gyllenhaal, the director of “Waterland” and “Dangerous Woman.” It features the humanitarian activist Dan Pallotta, whose Ted Talk “The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong” was viewed more than 17 million times and has inspired conversations about how charities can be more effective and how we can support them.
