Film Screening: Uncharitable


On Thursday, January 30 at 6pm, The Mahaiwe will screen the documentary film Uncharitable (2023).


The Southern Berkshire Chamber is co-presenting this screening with Berkshire United Way, Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires, and Tanglewood Learning Institute.


Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving.
