American Documentary is the non-profit organization behind your favorite series on public television. Based in Brooklyn, our small-but-mighty team is dedicated to supporting independent artists and presenting authentic, diverse stories—making them accessible to all.
We elevate bold and innovative documentaries for the public good. By supporting us, you also uplift:
- Human-centered stories brought to American audiences through the power of public television
- Diverse artists and storytellers; nearly 80 percent of POV Season 33’s films are helmed by women and more than two thirds by filmmakers of color.
- Educators and community organizers with free resources for using documentary as a learning tool through POV Engage
- Innovation in public media through initiatives like Otherly
