A bit of good news arrived this week.

The Ford Foundation’s JustFilms programme has announced a new round of support for documentary filmmaking…

Brett has spent years documenting workers organising in Alabama.

His film captures the resilience, determination and humour of people fighting for dignity and a voice in their workplaces.

It’s exactly the kind of filmmaking that feels increasingly rare. Patient. Deeply human. Rooted in ordinary lives rather than powerful institutions.

At a time when independent documentary finance remains challenging, support like this matters.

Not just for a single film, but for the wider idea that stories about working people, collective action and social justice deserve to be seen and heard.

Congratulations to Brett. We’re proud to be part of the journey and excited to see where it leads.

Geoff.
