We are super grateful to our friends at Bertha for their incredibly productive 8 year working relationship. This was the first ever dedicated documentary journalism fund and the results have exceeded our expectations. We provided early funding and editorial support to brave and agenda-setting films such as The Trial of Ratko Mladic, An Insignificant Man, Virunga, CITIZENFOUR, Hooligan Sparrow, Judgement in Hungary, Look of Silence and many more.
It also led to field-wide initiatives such as the free Safe+Secure project for filmmakers and subject safety.
