The First Step

In a divided America, progressive activist and political commentator Van Jones controversially works across party lines on landmark criminal justice reform and a more humane response to the addiction crisis. Attempting to be a bridge builder in a time of extreme polarization takes Van and a coalition of unlikely allies deep into the inner workings of a divisive administration, internal debates within both parties, and the lives of frontline activists fighting for their communities.

THE FIRST STEP premiered as an Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival, and was an official selection at AFI DOCS, Bentonville Film Festival, Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, Heartland Film Festival, and more than 40 other film festivals across the US.
