SURVIVOR MADE
SURVIVOR MADE follows a group of survivors as they defy the odds—building their own thriving businesses in Los Angeles, lobbying for change in Washington D.C., and fighting to prove that investing in survivors saves lives.
About the Film
SURVIVOR MADE is a deeply human documentary that offers a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of six survivors building safety and joy for themselves and their children. From growing small businesses in Los Angeles to organizing for change in D.C., they’re doing whatever it takes to build a new future on their own terms and in community.
From Executive Producers Padma Lakshmi, Roxane Gay, Nava Mau, Debbie Millman, Alok Vaid-Menon, and Fawzia Mirza, SURVIVOR MADE is a film for survivors, by survivors – a reflection of what becomes possible when healing is supported, and survivors are resourced to thrive.

Important, heartfelt, compelling, impactful, and perfectly timed.
Conveys a vision of what could be that's so necessary right now!
I can't stop thinking about this film. It's given me the fire to get to work.
SURVIVOR MADE offers a beacon of hope, elevating the strength found in queer community and self-love.
Magnificent. This film was created in a trauma-informed way that left me feeling hopeful, courageous, in awe, and joyful. Thank you!
A joyful portal of survivorship!
Demonstrates how much hard work it takes to build and heal, how much community it takes, and how many generations are benefited by the work.
Hopeful, realistic, brilliant, and even-handed about solutions [for survivors] within our grasp.
I loved watching real-time survivors grow with their families. I felt blessed to witness a journey that is limitless.
These are important stories that need to be heard.
The humanity of this film is what we need to counteract gender-based violence on a global scale.
I am empowered to keep lifting my voice and advocating for survivors.
This is the kind of storytelling survivors deserve.
Getting to know each of the survivors created a genuine connection. These stories resonate.
It is joyful, inspiring, heartwarming and really provides a blueprint for how we should be thinking about solutions in the times ahead of us. We are the solutions! We are the ones...SURVIVOR MADE shines a spotlight on the tenacity of survivors.

I'd like to Host my Screening at my local cinema, but I'm not seeing it on the Screening request form. Can I still screen there?
We are generally able to screen at most Venues, and add Venues to our network. Please email [email protected] with the info on the cinema, and we will reach out to them.
I'm not going to reach the minimum tickets by the expiration date. Can I move the expiration date out?
We generally are not able to move the expiration date because we need to give the theater time to book the screening, assign an auditorium, receive the content, etc. That being said, we can certainly move out the Event date which will automatically move the expiration date as well.
My tipping point is so high, can I lower it?
The tipping point is based on the amount it costs to rent out the theater for a screening. These rates are set by the theater, so we are generally not able to lower this number.
I found a different theater where I would rather Host my Event, can I move it?
Yes, please email [email protected] and we can assist you with moving your screening to a new location.
My Event is almost sold out, can we book a second auditorium for the same date, Venue, and time?
Theaters generally do not like booking 2 screens for Gathr events on the same evening. If your Event is close to selling out, please email [email protected], and we will reach out to the theater in order to move to a larger auditorium to accommodate all of your guests.
