The mission of Unity Productions Foundation (UPF) is to counter bigotry and create peace through the media. UPF produces films that tell compelling stories for television, online viewing, and theatrical release. These films are part of long-term educational campaigns aimed at increasing understanding among people of different faiths and cultures, especially among Muslims and other faiths.  Screenings have taken place in thousands of classrooms and civic institutions.  Over 83% of participants in UPF film screenings and dialogues indicate positive feedback after viewing.  Finally, UPF works in Hollywood through its MOST (Muslims on Screen and Television) Resource Center, providing facts and research to script writers and producers on popular shows seen worldwide. We are convinced of the power of media to empower citizens with greater understanding and to nourish pluralism in America and around the world.

Since its inception in 1999, UPF's executive producers and founders, Michael Wolfe and Alex Kronemer, have produced 9 nationally broadcast films for the U.S. Public Broadcasting System and one full-length film for theatrical release. Most of these films have gone on to wide international distribution.

UPF films have been viewed by an estimated 150 million people worldwide and have won dozens of national and international awards. UPF has partnered with prominent Jewish, Muslim, Christian and interfaith groups to run dialogues nationwide - with more than 80,000 participants in classrooms, community centers, living rooms, government offices and religious congregations.
