Support Filmmakers at Risk

Documentary filmmakers challenge power, amplify underrepresented voices, and bring us closer to experiences beyond our own. Their work is vital to a free and informed society.

Around the world, they face censorship, intimidation, retaliation, and shrinking resources.

For more than 40 years, IDA has stood with documentary filmmakers. We champion, protect, and defend their freedom. We provide them with the tools, community, and advocacy to navigate challenges.

Protect Free Expression. Defend Truth. Support Filmmakers at Risk.

Your gift makes our work possible.

This holiday season, uplift documentary filmmakers. Together, we can ensure they have the freedom and support they need to keep truth alive.

Make a gift. Join IDA. Stand with documentary filmmakers.
