PROGRAMS

Working Films brings the worlds of documentary filmmaking and social justice together.

 

We believe that documentary film has the unique power to shift the story and drive change in local communities and at state and national levels. We help grassroots organizers utilize films as a resource and offer funding and technical assistance to underrepresented filmmakers, who we connect with new audiences.
