Seeds of Change 2026
Join Nation Outside for Seeds of Change 2026: Detroit Premiere & Benefit, an unforgettable evening where film, community and purpose come together to inspire conversation and action.
Through intimate storytelling, What Grace Leaves Behind explores what happens after incarceration—not through statistics or headlines, but through the lived experiences of women rebuilding their lives. The film invites reflection on the care we offer one another, the dignity we extend and what justice requires after punishment ends.
More than a film premiere, Seeds of Change is a celebration of the people, partnerships and stories that remind us lasting change begins with those closest to the challenges. Community leaders, advocates, elected officials, philanthropists and supporters will gather to honor extraordinary changemakers, experience the transformative power of storytelling and invest in a future where people directly impacted by incarceration are seen, supported and empowered to lead.
Your evening includes:
- Exclusive Detroit premiere of What Grace Leaves Behind
- Dinner
- Two complimentary drink tickets
- Live music and entertainment
- 2026 Seeds of Change Awards Ceremony
- Opportunities to connect with community leaders, advocates, elected officials and supporters from across Michigan
