SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — The Scranton Area Community Foundation’s Women in Philanthropy initiative hosted a free community screening of the documentary “Loud Enough – Surviving Justice” on Monday as part of the foundation’s 2026 Civic Health Documentary Series.
The film follows a sexual assault survivor and her family as they push for accountability and change. It centers on their efforts to navigate the justice system and turn their experience into advocacy. The foundation described the screening as a way to bring the community together around civic health and engagement.
Laura Ducceschi, president and CEO of the Scranton Area Community Foundation, said the Women in Philanthropy initiative is focused on creating space for people to connect, learn and advocate for change, with work that goes beyond traditional grantmaking.
“And this documentary tonight is about a young woman who survived an assault and created a real effort to address a major systemic barrier after her case was not brought to court. It shows the power of the individual and really making change,” said Ducceschi.
Ducceschi added that the foundation’s civic health work is rooted in connectedness, creating opportunities for people to come together so they feel less isolated and more engaged in their community.
After the screening, Jeannine Luby, creator and host of the podcast “Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl,” moderated a post-screening community conversation with the film’s director, Hilary Klotz Steinman, and Sabrina Hannon, medical advocacy program coordinator at the Women’s Resource Center.
The Civic Health Documentary Series continues this fall with “Miss Representation” on Oct. 19 and “Uncharitable” on Nov. 16.
