"Lightworkers" is a documentary by director Bobby Roth that explores what motivates celebrities, politicians and activists to commit to fighting for democracy and social change. The film investigates how personal experiences of injustice and family background have shaped individuals' lifelong dedication to activism despite facing significant obstacles.

The documentary features interviews with notable figures including Tom Morello, Henry Winkler and Lee Grant, interspersed with historical footage ranging from the Holocaust to the January 6th Capitol riot and ICE raids. Director Roth is offering three online screenings in late September and October 2026, each accommodating up to 5,000 viewers, with endorsements from Bruce Springsteen and Ken Burns, alongside interviews with figures such as activist David Hogg and Congressman Jamie Raskin.
