DOCUMENTARY FILM IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Inspiring a documentary film practice and infrastructure that can contribute to strong societies.
WE’RE BUILDING A STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT FIELD
The Documentary Film in the Public Interest (DFPI) program is administered by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. The Initiative’s activities are designed to cross bridges between thinking and acting. We bring together practitioners, thought leaders, journalists, and filmmakers to drive new research, innovation, and provocation around issues in the documentary field.
THE HENRY AWARDS
The Henry Awards for Public Interest Documentary recognize nonfiction films that advance public understanding of the critical issues of our time, and honor documentary filmmaking’s essential contributions to a thriving society.
