Cause and Effect Video

How we ‘see’ people affects how we treat people. It’s cause and effect. If you don’t see the beauty and value in another person, it’s easy to treat them like an object. But imagine the effect if we saw every other person as equally amazing, equally important, equally valuable. Imagine how things might change.

Focus on Life Video

Focus On Life 20th Anniversary – Video

Some 20 years of collaboration compiled into 200 seconds!
We co-founded Focus On Life with Signal Hill and the Archdiocese of Vancouver.
During 20 years of collaboration, we created life-changing media on the value of life, the vulnerable, and compassionate care for pregnant and port abortion women.
Our charity helped co-found Pregnancy Care Canada. This national best practice association equips and encourages crisis pregnancy centres, and assists in the development of new centres.
