Your Support has Impact!

Your support will help:

  • Produce a comprehensive online, asynchronous, training program in documentary filmmaking. It is our mission to make our training programs available to storytellers around the world facing all forms of social and economic injustices. It is our belief that for the international community to better address the challenges of the world we must learn about the problems and solutions from the local perspective. This initiative will allow anyone to learn documentary filmmaking – especially those in places and situations where in-person training is not possible and meeting online is difficult.
  • Afghan and Haitian Support – Help us help Afghan and Haitian filmmakers, journalists, cultural workers, and rights activists cope with legal, logistical and advocacy needs.
  • Amplify local voices through the distribution of our Film and Public Engagement projects;
  • Research and develop new training, production, and public engagement projects.
