I thought as it was part of the mission there was maybe a short easy answer. :)
Find two groups/orgs of similar people that are willing to work with you. Survey both groups and then only work with one group. Then survey both groups after the project, then six months later, then 12 months later, then 3 years later. That would give a good sense of the "change" you caused as compared to the control group that had no interaction.
With a film it seems even easier, as you follow up with people who watched it and people who didn't.
Or, easiest of all, remove the idea of change from the mission statement. I don't think that's a cop out!
