FWD-Doc
Filmmakers with disabilities (FWDs) and allies amplifying disabled voices
FWD-Doc is a global, intersectional community of disabled creators and allies, rooted in documentary film, that champions and elevates stories by, for, and about disabled people across all types of media.
We envision a thriving and accessible media industry in which disabled creatives can freely produce the stories they want, where disabled stories are told with nuance and authenticity, and that disabled audiences can access media without barriers.
