Most recently, Beth received the Anthem Award for Human & Civil Rights in Documentary Film, recognizing UnBroken for its profound social impact and its contribution to advancing dialogue around moral courage, resistance and human dignity.

At the core of Beth’s work is a lifelong commitment to creating spaces where storytelling expands our collective capacity for empathy. Rooted in bridge-building and dialogue, her work uses personal narrative as a catalyst for understanding, connection and action. Beth is a sought-after keynote speaker and moderator, curating and serving on panels and juries focused on film, human rights, social impact and spirituality. She also hosted more than 40 episodes of her weekly Instagram Live series, Banter with Beth, featuring conversations with artists, activists and thought leaders.

A lifelong actress, dancer and singer, Beth serves on the council of The Children’s Burn Foundation, an experience that inspired her to launch The Weber Family Arts Foundation.

UnBroken is the Foundation’s inaugural project and the cornerstone of its expanding impact initiatives.

Following screenings of UnBroken, Beth’s talks resonate deeply with audiences, blending intimate storytelling with timely reflection on courage, civics and what it means to stand up for one another when it matters most.
