Established in 2016, the Documentary Producers Alliance (DPA) is an all-volunteer, diverse coalition of more than 550 international members ranging from emerging to Academy Award-winning documentary producers.

Our mission is to amplify the voice of documentary producers worldwide by educating the industry about the essential role that producers play from development through financing, production, and distribution; and by setting standards for inclusive, sustainable, and equitable documentary filmmaking practices based on research, collective experience, and input from industry stakeholders. 

We envision securing and advancing for all documentary producers, a thriving, just, inclusive, empowering and sustainable environment, where professionalism, quality, equity and respect are inalienable industry standards.
