Documentary Filmmakers

Documentary filmmakers serve as influential storytellers who present authentic stories through nonfiction film and cultural documentation and visual storytelling methods. These creative voices use storytelling for change to inform, inspire, and challenge audiences worldwide by uncovering untold histories and highlighting social issues.

Our best documentary filmmakers who include both celebrated Black documentary filmmakers and American African documentary filmmakers deliver keynotes for media summits and academic panels and social justice events to discuss film production and truth in media and creative documentary impact. These inspirational voices who rank among the greatest documentary filmmakers of all time use their lens to spark dialogue and foster change.
