The story
American INSIGHT was founded in 1983 under the original name of the American Poetry Center to promote free speech and the spoken word. Its success in Pennsylvania led to the creation of National Poetry Month. The organization legally changed its name to American INSIGHT in 2005.
American INSIGHT’s mission is to promote the history and values of Free Speech, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law - and to empower students to use their voice to discuss how these values emerge in societies around the world through the lens of independent filmmakers.
