Our Mission
To significantly raise the profile of documentary films and filmmakers by publicly promoting awareness, support and viewership of Canadian and international documentary films across Canada and the world.
Why the Campaign?
* Once known internationally for its leadership role in development and innovation, documentary filmmaking in Canada is in peril of disappearing due to a lack of financial support for its creation.
* Over the past 5 years more than 2,000 people have been forced to leave their jobs in documentary production even before the effects of the economic downturn hit.
* Attendance at Hot Docs, Canada’s largest documentary film festival, has increased by an astounding 750% over the past decade.
