On April 4th, 2025, we will commemorate the 11th anniversary of Roger Ebert's passing with the Day4Empathy event. Ebert famously described movies as "empathy machines" and often emphasized themes of Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion, and Kindness (FECK) in his critiques. The event invites fans and film lovers to reflect on and share their favorite reviews by Ebert that resonate with these themes. Participants can engage through comments, social media, or email, building a shared understanding of how Ebert's insights continue to impact film appreciation.
Roger Ebert believed deeply in the power of film to foster empathy, and we encourage you to share your favorite reviews that resonate with this ethos.
