Pay It Forward Movement   

From the home page, written by Catherine Ryan, site creator and author of Pay It Forward:  

The Pay It Forward Movement is the real-life reaction to the release of my novel in early 2000, followed by the creation of the Pay It Forward Foundation, followed by the Warner Brothers movie. I didn’t write the novel expecting a social movement, but it’s certainly been exciting to watch it grow. 

The purpose of the Pay It Forward Movement website is to bring together, in one place, as many real stories as we can.  

The website gives over 120 Pay It Forward stories written in by individuals from all over the world. 

Then there’s information on all the 200-odd established Pay It Forward projects and school projects that have sprung up all over the world.  

 A person could spend many happy hours reading all the inspiring stories.

Message from Elliot: 

a positive vision of life, leave you feeling good and contain little or no violence, exploitative sex or other types of negative imagery. It recommends films that delight, inspire, educate and enlighten. Films are evaluated from the perspective of feeling and love – first from the heart, secondarily from the intellect.
