For over 50 years, Kartemquin’s mission has been to empower the creation of stories that foster a more engaged and just society — turning toward and grappling with the most critical issues of our time.
We do this by producing documentaries on a wide range of issues, championing filmmakers in developing their craft, and aligning with partners who understand that documentaries are powerful vehicles for truth that can transform the world around us.
Our Values
Engaging work and taking guidance from our community of artists, peer organizations, field leaders, and staff we’ve developed a set of values that guide the decisions we make – from programs to partnerships. As the industry continues to shift, we envision these values changing and adapting over time.
