Whitman, Buffalo is a celebration of poetry and community. Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) and the Calamus Project worked with filmmaker Steve Rosenthal to film representatives from 20 PPG partner organizations doing three things: describing themselves and their work; talking about PPG’s 20 principles (eight assets and twelve challenges facing Buffalo Niagara); and reciting a passage from Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself.”

Watch a trailer here and scroll down to view the 20 films, each presented with the PPG principle and the poetry text.
