Impact Award  - Forks Over Knives
The documentary ‘Forks Over Knives’ is having the type of impact a transformational film is made for. First Russell Brand went vegan, then Ozzy Osbourne. Dancing with Stars Carrie Ann Inaba and her fiance went vegetarian. Now, actress Eliza Dushku is jumping into the world of plant based foods.

Inspiration Award - Sing Your Song
While it has not gotten much distribution yet, a film that premiered at Sundance last year was so moving, that it wins the 2011 Inspiration Award. Sing Your Song tells the story of Harry Belefonte’s challenges with segregation and how he rose above those challenges to become a champion for justice for all.  See story
