Patricia Aufderheide’s new book – Kartemquin Films: Documentaries on the Frontlines of Democracy – reveals how Kartemquin became the documentary powerhouse it is today by boldly addressing issues of gender, race, and class while navigating the demands of the media industry and staying true to its democratic vision.
Discover how Kartemquin Films, inspired by philosopher John Dewey, turned the dream of making documentaries that strengthen democracy into an award-winning reality. From nuns and gang members to skateboarders and disability activists, this evolution of Kartemquin mirrors the history of U.S. independent documentary film over the past seventy years.
