Welcome to Absolutely Indie Network

Thrive TV, a dedicated streaming network, is committed to tackling the growing mental health crisis through awareness, resources, support, and real-world solutions. Our flagship series, The Only Way Out Is Through, hosted by Montel Williams, unites communities across the country for honest, solution-driven dialogue. Season One: Safer Schools, Stronger Communities addresses one of the most urgent issues of our time—school violence. Through live public forums and town halls across the United States, Montel leads impactful conversations with mental health professionals, educators, school boards, legislators, law enforcement, community leaders, parents, and students. These discussions go beyond headlines; while tragedies often dominate the news cycle, meaningful solutions are rarely sustained. Thrive TV exists to ask the hard questions and collaborate toward answers that can foster lasting change. All events will be livestreamed on Roku, and we are also proud to support independent films that contribute to this vital conversation. We are committed to being part of the solution.

This is where short films shine—and filmmakers are recognized, all while being part of the thriving community on Thrive TV.
