DocA – Documentary Africa is a Pan-African initiative that aims to cultivate and nourish a self-sustaining documentary film ecosystem in Africa. They are focused on empowering African documentary filmmakers to craft, showcase and reclaim their own narratives through a uniquely African lens in order to aggregate diverse continental perspectives that can confront persistent, dominant and inaccurate narratives about the continent. Through film grants to documentary filmmakers and complementary initiatives in: storytelling development and content creation, knowledge-building and sharing, distribution, and audience building; they play an integral role in supporting the African documentary film industry.
