Movies That Matter is a program of the Fort Worth Human Relations Commission (HRC). The HRC is appointed by the City Council to promote the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and access by enforcing civil rights laws as they pertain to housing, employment and public accommodation, raising public awareness of Fort Worth's diverse cultures and their contributions to the community's social and economic vitality; fostering harmonious human relations among Fort Worth residents, and coordinating efforts to eliminate racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in criminal justice, economic development, education, governance, health, housing and transportation.
