Working Films is a nationally recognized activist-driven bridge between high quality documentary filmmaking and concrete impact; we support life-changing media organizing that works for social, economic, environmental and racial justice and we strive for strategic and measurable outcomes. 

Working Films was co-founded by veteran film festival curator and media educator Robert West and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and organizer Judith Helfand in late 1999.

Working Films is neither a production company nor a distributor. The organization works with filmmakers - at every stage - to maximize their work in coordinated community education efforts, consumer organizing campaigns, activist movements and classroom projects. They work with organizers to enrich their on-going grassroots efforts with relevant, vital media, and with educators to bring into the classroom critical independent film and video on issues of social and economic justice.
