The DISCO network (Ambulante, AFLAMUNA, DocsMX, Doc Society, DocSP, Docubox, and In-Docs) launched the Independence Project to articulate the unique importance of independent documentaries to culture, society, and democracy. The project seeks to co-create a shared articulation for “independent documentary” and provide a richer and more diverse set of perspectives on the state of the field that centers the voices of global majority makers. The project began with fifty-one in-depth interviews with filmmakers from more than thirty-four countries, and has released its first manuscript based on these interviews for the theme ‘What does independent documentary mean to you and why does it matter?’
