Grace Products

Grace Products was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: to make history come alive for students through engaging, character-driven storytelling. When Greg Vaughn sought to spark his daughter's interest in history, he realized traditional methods fell short. Leveraging his background in filmmaking, Vaughn created the Emmy Award-winning 'In Search of the Heroes' collection, blending adventure with education to teach timeless values. Over a decade of development with creative partner Fred Holmes resulted in a series now used in over 25,000 schools nationwide, reaching 4.5 million children annually. Our films transport students through time to learn from historical figures like Anne Frank and Harriet Tubman, emphasizing compassion, courage, and perseverance. President Clinton's 1996 call for character education inspired our approach, which aligns with modern curricula emphasizing integrity and leadership.

Teachers nationwide report increased library engagement after screenings, with students inspired to embody the heroic traits they witness. Each 30-40 minute film combines historical accuracy with modern storytelling techniques, addressing contemporary issues through historical contexts. From 'Forget Me Not' tackling intolerance to 'The Pioneer Spirit' highlighting resilience, our collection fosters critical thinking while meeting educational standards. With both DVD and streaming options available, we empower educators to create dynamic learning environments. Our commitment remains unwavering: to cultivate the next generation of heroes through transformative educational experiences.
