While fiscal sponsorship is a component of the program, unlike other sponsoring organizations, we also provide a suite of support services such as tailored consultations, discounts to our workshops and webinars with leading industry professionals, and other essential resources.
In the last 5 years, WMM’s Production Assistance Program has helped 194 films reach completion and assisted filmmakers in raising more than $46,000,000 from government, foundation, corporate or individual, and crowd-funded sources. Since its inception, the program has been a part of raising more than $100,000,000 and helping more than 1,000 films to completion.
Films and filmmakers we have supported have been nominated for or won Academy Awards for the last 22 years, including Oscar-winning documentary CITIZENFOUR by Laura Poitras, STRONG ISLAND by Yance Ford, SUGARCANE by Emily Kassie and Julian Brave NoiseCat, TO KILL A TIGER by Nisha Pahuja, THE ETERNAL MEMORY by Maite Alberdi and THE BARBER OF LITTLE ROCK by John Hoffman and Christine Turner, the last two of which were directed by PA alum. The program has also supported critically acclaimed fiction features like FAMILIAR TOUCH (dir. Sarah Friedland), Dee Rees’ PARIAH, I CARRY YOU WITH ME (dir. Heidi Ewing, prod. Mynette Louie), FAREWELL AMOR (dir. Ekwa Msangi, prod. Huriyyah Muhammad, Sam Bisbee, Josh Penn), and THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL (dir. Marielle Heller). We’re thrilled to continue to have a large presence at the Sundance Film Festival, including GOING TO MARS: THE NIKKI GIOVANNI PROJECT (Dir Michèle Stephenson), LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING (dir. Lisa Cortés), Sandi Tan’s SHIRKERS, which won the World Cinema Documentary Competition Award for Best Directing, and most recently SEEDS (dir. Brittany Shyne, prod. Danielle Varga), which won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Documentary. In addition to Sundance, films supported by our program premiere at major festivals like Berlin, Tribeca, CPH:DOX, and SXSW.

[title] => Index:Trace
[text] => Index:Trace looks at the entire nuclear fuel trajectory—from its start in the radioactive dust of uranium mines, to the ubiquitous dangers and climate impacts of nuclear power, the apocalypse portended by nuclear weapons, and the irradicable environmental and health consequences of radioactive waste. The film will portray the nuclear legacy that has fundamentally changed the global ecology, distributing radioactive elements throughout the biosphere, affecting the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat—and penetrating into the very genetic material that makes us who we are.
The film presents a people’s history of the environmental devastation wrought by the nuclear industrial complex through ten emblematic events that highlight the intersection of the four indices of the nuclear fuel trajectory—uranium mining, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, and nuclear waste.
Narrative sequences about these ten events include: the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico; the fallout from decades of nuclear testing on the Marshall Islands and in Nevada; the catastrophic uranium mining spill on Navajo Land in Church Rock, New Mexico; the partial meltdown of the reactor at Three-Mile Island in Pennsylvania; the FBI raid on Rocky Flats, a plutonium production plant in Colorado; human experiments on unknowing subjects with radioactive materials across the country; the environmental movement in the 1970s and 80s which focused on nuclear abolition; the radioactive waste tanks built during the Cold War at the Hanford Site, in Washington; the ongoing nuclear waste predicament; and the possibility and hope of creating a nuclear free future.
[logline] => Index:Trace is a film that portrays the past, present, and future impacts of the nuclear fuel trajectory in all 50 states, — uranium mines, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, and nuclear waste — as told by impacted communities, scientists and activists who are working together for nuclear abolition and environmental justice.

[title] => SEE YOU IN AUGUST
[text] => UTOPIA: Borne of rebellion, unbridled freedom of expression and sexual liberation, MichFest reimagined the world and was the place to fall in love and heal from the impacts of patriarchy, racism, homophobia and ableism. Held on 651 acres of woodland in the American midwest it grew rapidly from a three day rustic camping event to a one week state-of-the-art celebration, hosting an incredible range of artists. Without corporate sponsorship money was tight, yet this scrappy resilient festival survived four decades. AGAINST ALL ODDS: Known for its progressive culture, the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival became the front line for many radical issues of the times. In responding to the needs, demands and conflicts of its diverse community of tens of thousands there was no shortage of hope and commitment. A dramatic turn in the 90s shed new light on sex and gender identity placing the festival’s founding intention for a “womyn-born-womyn” separate space in the spotlight. In 1991, a trans woman was asked to leave the land which launched a cultural flashpoint, leading to boycotts and contributing to its ultimate end in 2015. TODAY: Central to the film are multiple diverse interviews, and a reunion with veteran festival artists Canadian singer-songwriter Ferron, American poet-activist Staceyann Chin and Canadian comedian Elvira Kurt. Joined by Lisa Vogel the producer of MichFest, they come together at Kindred on the Rock, Staceyann's mountainous sanctuary in rural Jamaica “for artists, activists, and freedom lovers,” to look back, reflect and share their art.

[title] => Cancer: A Love Story (Working Title)
[text] => Just so you know, this documentary will have lots of vaginas. Not just mine, all different kinds.
This series is my attempt to show the world the way I think, what I see, how I construct my reality. My reality includes cancer and rape. I’m not alone: 1 in 6 women have been the victim of rape or attempted rape, and 1 in 8 women have or will be diagnosed with cancer. This is my story, told through my female gaze, the lens of my experiences: the teacher who sent me 100 letters in 8th grade, the rape I experienced at 15, the silencing that followed, another assault by a boyfriend, the way these events reverberated throughout my life and affected my sense of self, my sexuality, my art, my friendships, and my kids.
I hope it is proof that our darkest moments are the most illuminating. And I hope it shows that humans will do almost anything to heal themselves.
It's a love story--of what it truly takes to accept myself and love others in a world that treats women like shit.
[logline] => Cancer: A Love Story is an autobiographical documentary about my battle with cancer, confronting sexual assault, and the crazy things I did to heal myself. It’s a survival story, but also a story of mothers and daughters, and the intimacies of women’s bodies.

[title] => Cosmic Moose and Grizzly Bears Ville
[text] => My uncle Peter Zak Valentine was born on Valentine’s Day 82 years ago and died in his basement in August of 2022. Long ago diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic but choosing to live his life unmedicated, Peter lived independently, riding the edge between mental illness and magic. Peter was an eccentric, beloved, and respected local legend of the city of Cambridge.
The film follows Peter’s unusual journey, weaving around the extraordinary events surrounding his house, MIT, and the city of Cambridge. In the late 1980's, Peter was not the owner of his rent controlled three-story house. It was divided into apartments, and he rented one of them, living on disability payments. When MIT wanted to demolish his neighborhood to develop and build University Park, Peter refused to move, insisting that he could not leave his apartment because it was his laboratory for research on Electromagnetic Arts, a psychic defense system he had created, developed, and taught. After seven years of Peter’s insistence and many legal hearings, MIT physically moved his house 900 ft to Central Square, positioning it at the exact odd angle which he specified. They also sold the entire house to Peter for a dollar. The rest of the neighborhood was demolished and MIT moved forward with their development of University Park.
The MIT story brings in many larger conversations and questions which are woven throughout the film, specifically around themes of gentrification, rent control, and the increased, looping level of housing shortage that cities such as Cambridge face.
[logline] => Peter Valentine, living on disability in an apartment, fought MIT while they demolished his neighborhood to develop University Park, claiming he couldn’t leave because it was his electromagnetic laboratory. Eventually, MIT gifted him the entire building, moving it to another street. Peter was diagnosed schizophrenic and unmedicated all his life.

The film follows teacher and community organizer Pua Case and her two daughters — artist-activists Hāwane Rios and Kapulei Flores — who have been called to stop the telescope since 2010. Their lives quickly become consumed with frontline actions and court proceedings and immersed in ceremonies and cultural practices. As they face opposition and arrests, they are joined by a community who have dedicated their lives to protecting Mauna Kea.
The film is an intimate journey through the women’s lives both on and off the mountain, and explores the physical and emotional toll of sustaining a grassroots movement. After nine months of living on the mountain, blocking construction, and establishing a frontline camp, Standing Above The Clouds shows their journey to heal once they return to their homes in March 2020. In the face of challenges and tragedy, the mountain gifts each woman with hope and strength and the understanding that victory is in standing in unity for sacred places and that healing occurs through the sisterhood they have created along the way.
[logline] => When the massive Thirty Meter Telescope is proposed to be built on Mauna Kea, an uprising of kiaʻi (protectors) in Hawaiʻi and around the world dedicate their lives to protecting the sacred mountain from destruction. Through the lens of mothers and daughters in three Native Hawaiian families, Standing Above the Clouds explores intergenerational healing and the impacts of safeguarding cultural traditions.

[title] => Rubbish: The Queer Kingdom of Leilah Babirye
[text] => Rubbish: The Queer Kingdom of Leilah Babirye tells the story of a queer artist-activist from Uganda transforming discarded rubbish into visions of liberation. Outed in homophobic media amidst a climate of rising hateful legislation, she applied for asylum in New York City and began building the liberatory queer kingdom of her dreams.
A 10-year film about one extraordinary artist’s work to reimagine life for the queer diaspora based on compassion, beauty and celebration. From underground pride parties in Kampala to the drag shows of Fire Island to her own Bushwick studio, this film follows her building online community and constructing incredible totemic sculpture work, shown in some of the most celebrated spaces of the international art world.
Called “triumphal” and “luminous” by Roberta Smith in the New York Times, Leilah’s work tells the story of kuchu, or queer, life in Uganda. The film’s title references ebisiyaga, the Luganda word for sugarcane husk, or rubbish, used to pejoratively describe kuchu people. As an artist working with found materials, Leilah transforms the objects humans discard into otherworldly figures, centering and honoring queer ancestors, past and imagined.

[title] => Peace For Nina
[text] => “Peace for Nina” tells the story of a Ukrainian woman whose life is shattered by war and the loss of her most beloved ones. In the early 1990s, Nina’s husband, an officer in the Soviet Army, died as a result of injuries sustained in the Soviet war campaign in Afghanistan. Thirty years later, Nina is forced to confront a second painful loss, when her son Ihor who volunteered for the Ukrainian Army is captured and summarily executed by Russian mercenaries, while defending Donetsk airport in 2015.
As Nina begins to come to terms with the loss of her son, she resolves to collect evidence of Ihor’s extrajudicial execution in captivity. Together with her lawyer, she meets former war prisoners, who witnessed war crimes and those who were serving with her son so that she could recreate the last hours of his life. Nina’s quest seeks both personal closure in the matter of the death of her son as well as international condemnation of those who launched the undeclared war in 2014. Her ultimate goal is to ensure that what happened to her son will be recognized as a war crime in Ukrainian and International Courts.
“Peace for Nina” reveals the deep and ongoing grief of a mother who, against overwhelming odds, challenges authority and discovers that even small steps towards finding the truth can achieve big victories.
[logline] => Peace for Nina follows the journey of a Ukrainian mother as she seeks justice for the unlawful killing of her son by a Russian mercenary. A survivor’s tale of grief, courage and hope.

[title] => Girl Island
[text] => "The verdant hills of Casablanca look down on homes and shops jammed chockablock against narrow, twisted streets filled with the odors of spices and dung…."
…And so begins the first sentence of Sandy Stone's groundbreaking 1987 Manifesto, describing Morocco, one of the few places in the world to get a "sex change" in the early 1970s. The Girl Island film begins at the same time, but in a San Francisco hospital, where Sandy languished for months with 27 broken bones after a car accident. Sporting a bushy beard while taking female hormones, she shocked the staff, who wouldn't give her pain meds until The Byrds musicians David Crosby and Graham Nash arrived, yelling, "Do you know who this is? This is one of our best sound engineers!"
Girl Island is a documentary film featuring animation about Allucquére Rosanne 'Sandy' Stone, one of the world's visionaries who pioneered Digital Art & Theory and Trans Studies. Sandy's incredible journey intersects with America's most iconic moments in rock music, technology, feminism, trans history, philosophy, and art, straddling history as it moved from the avant-garde era to the digital age. Not your usual talking heads documentary, Girl Island unites these threads through exciting storytelling from the inside out by mixing the dreamy, fantastical animation of Bishakh Som with archival material, recent vérité, and live interviews by the people who were actually there.
Partway through production, we are fundraising to finish filming and complete the animation!
Buckle up. We're going to Girl Island!

[title] => A Double Life
[text] => As a young lawyer working in the San Francisco Bay Area of the 1960s and early 70s, Stephen Bingham is involved in many of the progressive causes of the day, including civil rights, the farm workers’ movement, the anti-war movement, and prisoners’ rights. On August 21st, 1971, he is the last person to visit imprisoned Black Panther leader George Jackson before what government officials allege is a prison break out attempt that leaves six dead, including three prison guards and Jackson himself. Bingham is accused of passing a gun to Jackson and is indicted for murder. Fearing for his life Bingham assumes a false identity and leaves the country. He spends the next 13 years as a fugitive, living mostly in Paris where he remains actively politically and meets his future wife. In 1984, he turns himself in to authorities, claiming his innocence. After a high-profile trial, he is acquitted in 1986 and returns to his work as a legal aid lawyer serving poor people.
This is Stephen Bingham’s story, but it is also a story of the social and political justice movements and personalities that shaped him. The film looks at the nexus of circumstance and ideals that brought Stephen Bingham and George Jackson together on that fateful day, and how a single moment in time can change a life forever. It is also the story of the experience of exile: living for years with an entirely different identity. The film presents a multi-layered portrait of the turbulent 60s and 70s, and the role of one person seeking justice for others and then for himself.
However, this is not only a film about the past. The conflicts and contradictions in American society that defined the movements of the 1960s have not faded; in fact, the issues of racism, mass incarceration, and state surveillance are more urgent than ever. The question of individual engagement for the cause of social justice is an enduring one, as are the risks and contradictions that such engagement sometimes entails. Stephen Bingham’s story brings these questions to the forefront, allowing us to reflect on the nature of political commitment and action.
[logline] => The filmmaker goes on a journey of discovery to unravel the mystery of her uncle’s past as a civil rights activist lawyer and political fugitive and his alleged involvement in an alleged prison escape attempt which left six people dead, his 13 years as a political fugitive and his return in 1984 to stand trial and gain his acquittal in 1986, returning to his legal aid work after 15 years. The film presents a multi-layered portrait of a turbulent era and the role of one individual seeking justice for others and later for himself.

[title] => Will They Ever Come Back?
[text] => Traveling a long road to the south of Colombia, Ángela and her sister Juliana venture into Nasa indigenous land. There, their father, an Afro-descendant farmer, was forcibly disappeared some time ago. After 30 years of avoiding the fact, Ángela has a dream in which her father asks her to find him.
As the sisters traverse the country, they have conversations that reveal their father's profile and the challenges he faced as an independent rice farmer. They also delve into topics related to the land where he worked: an indigenous territory where the agricultural, armed, and social problems of the country are magnified. Accompanying this journey are the testimony of the sisters' mother, the introspective grandmother, and an unexpected radio resource.
Once in the area - a territory where both food and horror are harvested - and after various logistical and spiritual filters, the community welcomes Ángela and Juliana, who participate in conversations and agricultural tasks. Ángela's reality and dreamworld align with the pragmatism and mysticism of the Indigenous, forging a bridge. To support the reunion with their father, the community allows them to participate in a death ritual or party called CXAPUCX where the dead will drink and eat.
Days later, the sisters leave the territory having confronted love, their father's legacy, and a violated community that resists, maintaining a deep connection with the land and food.
[logline] => Driving down a long Colombian road, Angela and her sister enter the indigenous land where their father, an Afro-descendant farmer, was forcibly disappeared years ago. In a dream, he asks to be found. The journey confronts them with mysticism and a violated community that resists.

[title] => The Dead Zone
[text] => While the media focuses on police brutality and prison abolition, we don’t hear about the seven million people that are arrested and held in jail each year. THE DEAD ZONE is a groundbreaking feature documentary that exposes this unknown pipeline to prison, the pretrial detention system, humanizing a raging national debate about crime, public safety and freedom.
Duane Lake spent six years in jail before he was acquitted, but by then, he had already lost his house, his family, his livelihood. Two years after release, he is still rebuilding while using his story to help “tear the system down.” Like Duane, public defender Chris Routh spent a year in jail, which motivated him to become a lawyer. As he fiercely defends his clients, Chris fundraises to recruit new lawyers in Jackson, Mississippi, where the state doesn’t pay for public defense. On the other side of the courtroom, District Attorney Steve Mulroy is implementing a series of reforms in Memphis, TN, a city at the top of the nation’s worst crime list, while the nation’s eyes are on him as he prosecutes the police for the murder of Tyre Nichols. In Houston, Judge Genesis Draper fights a massive misinformation campaign against bail reform’s link to rising crimes while also working to reduce the city’s overcrowded jail, where 25 people died in 2022 alone.
By following active cases, we’ll see reforms tested in the nation’s most problematic systems. Together, they will offer a blueprint for other communities to reduce their jail populations.
[logline] => Every day, half a million forgotten Americans languish in THE DEAD ZONE, the limbo between arrest and conviction. Innocent people die in jail and can be held for years because of the profit motivated pretrial detention system. But four extraordinary people are trying to offer a blueprint for change.

[title] => How to Build a Library
[text] => In 2018, Shiro (writer) and Wachuka (publisher) quit their jobs to restore a derelict colonial library in bustling downtown Nairobi. Horrified at the condition of the historical, state-owned building, they successfully lobbied city officials to take-over management of the junk-filled library. With zero experience in building, the pair find themselves with a mammoth task ahead. But with an undying passion for books, and a unique flair for glamour, instagram, and finding funds where least expected, they activate an army of homegrown artists, intellectuals, tech developers, architects and writers, all energised to transform the space into a technological hub of creativity and learning for future generations. They call it Book Bunk. While the cleanup & architectural overhaul of the neo-classical building requires a huge team and financial investment, it is the psychological rebuilding of these spaces that requires the most energy. The building serves as a vehicle to raise important questions about the history and future direction of Kenyan society. Built in 1932 by British settler Lady McMillan, to commemorate the death of her American railroad millionaire husband, the McMillian Memorial Library was built for white use only. It wasn’t until independence in the 1960’s that Africans were permitted access to the library and its collection, which has been left in neglect since, dismissed as someone else’s history. The film explores a post-colonial identity crisis as it exists for millennials in Kenya today, and shared all over the world: what do we do with this painful history? Erase, or remember?
[logline] => Two tenacious Kenyan women are transforming a dilapidated, junk-filled library in downtown Nairobi. But first they must work with local government, raise several million dollars for the rebuild, and confront the ghosts of a problematic colonial history still trapped within the library walls.

[title] => I Love Bed-Stuy
[text] => On another street, we meet Ole, our fictional character. She has inherited her grandmother’s brownstone. With debt crushing her, she decides to start an Airbnb. It's a horrible experience. She debates packing up and moving out of Bed-Stuy all together with her neighbors, Ms. Brown and Ms Taylor. She could cash out and move on. They remind her of the rich Bed-Stuy history and she says she will give this place one last try.
Then, a new guest arrives. It's Sam. Sam is struck by how beautiful Ole is. This is where our adventure begins. Through her stay, they grow closer. One day on the stoop, Ole tells Sam that she’s thinking of selling her brownstone- against her grandmother’s wishes. Sam presses Ole, “There's gotta be something special about Bed-Stuy? Show me.” On a warm, Brooklyn day, Ole takes Sam’s hand and leads her to an historic community event and then a block party. They dance until they sweat. There maybe something special after all.
Back to reality, on a Zoom, residents testify to the board, why the community center must remain. Under the scaffolding in front of the temple, an argument breaks out between residents and developer, erupting into a screaming match. In the next scene, we watch the demolition of the building. In another part of the neighborhood, Sam and Ole are falling in love with each other and the neighborhood. While the fate of the building hangs in the balance, Bed-Stuy continues to grapple with its extinction.
[logline] => Like many American neighborhoods, Bedford-Stuyvesant is quickly gentrifying, losing access to its own culture, history and residents. In this vibrant hybrid documentary, a budding fictional love story is the silver lining, as real-life residents’ fight to save a historical building becomes a microcosm for a deeper look into 3rd wave

[title] => Hasta Siempre - Until Forever
[text] => Since she could walk, Estefanie has donned the insignia of the nonviolent resistance movement that defines her life – red and green for blood and land. Growing up in the most dangerous country in the world for environmental defenders, her mom, Alicia, raised her as the first child to participate in the Indigenous guard, the grassroots force protecting their territory from armed groups seeking control. Her gleeful imagination prevails against a ceaseless war. As Estefanie grows up from age 6-13, she develops a deeper understanding of the violence that shapes her childhood. We began filming in early 2018 as armed conflict was returning to their territory in Cauca with the failed promise of Colombia’s historic peace accord. Assassinations of social leaders exploded, and members of the guard became targets like never before. At age seven, Estefanie witnessed the aftermath of a massacre that killed five members of the guard from their community. Alicia, facing death threats like every other leader from their movement, was forced to grapple with a profound question as a mother: prioritize her and her daughter’s safety, or remain committed to the Indigenous Guard and teach young Estefanie the courage of seeing one’s life as inherently bound to the collective. A feminine portrait of war and resilience through the prism of motherhood, the documentary shows the relational forces that hold people together for a cause, bound to an ancestral struggle "until forever."
[logline] => Growing up in one of the most powerful nonviolent land-defense movements in the world, a young Indigenous girl, Estefanie, absorbs the struggle of her people to protect their territory in war-torn Colombia. As violence resurges and Estefanie witnesses the deaths of many of their leaders, her mom must teach her.
