Docs In Progress (docsinprogress.org) aims to educate, inspire and transform the way people view their world through documentary films. By providing emerging and diverse artists with the tools needed to tell their stories, these films/filmmakers call attention to social and cultural issues found on the local, national and global stage. Docs In Progress also seeks to deepen the public’s experience of documentaries as a form of art and expression.
