Firelight is proud to participate in this year's International Documentary Association's Getting Real Conference, the largest nonfiction gathering on the west coast.
We are co-sponsoring eight sessions that explore a range of issues - from reaching new audiences to supporting Palestinian filmmakers, and visioning the future of the documentary medium through our #DecolonizeDocs series. Look for us in L.A., at Getting Real and join us for one of these sessions.

There is currently a battle for the identity of the United States. White supremacists are working overtime in all arenas to ensure a future that is based on division and exclusion. We believe documentaries can play a critical role in helping us understand who we were, who we are, and who we can become as a nation. In order for us to do this work, the documentary field must reckon with its colonial roots in order to chart a new path forward.
