docutribe is a non-profit New York-based organization founded in 2006 and relaunched in 2016 by Cecily Tyler dedicated to activating social impact through the power of storytelling and filmmaking. Through teaching the tools and process of filmmaking and technology, we help filmmakers and their communities activate social change at the hyper local level and to tell their stories at the national or even international levels. We believe in the unique ability of storytelling, filmmaking and technology to confront and begin to solve every-day challenges and uplift communities. In service of this vision, we not only teach and consult on filmmaking practices, but also produce films, develop new media projects, and organize live events that celebrate the power of socially conscious storytelling and give back to the communities it seeks to uplift. docutribe currently has the following initiatives in production, https://www.docutribe.org/innovativestorytelling.

We are thrilled to share the new Docutribe website with you! Some long-awaited improvements to the user experience are now live, such as a streamlined navigation, a searchable film library, and an improved donation page.

We’re also featuring more images of our staff, fellows, and community to illustrate the on-the-ground work we do.

We are proud to be able to continue to support the communities we work with, and this website will help us do that!

Today, we honor the humanitarians who dedicate themselves to serving, supporting, and uplifting communities around the world. Their work reminds us of the power of compassion, the stories of those they serve remind us why it matters.

Docutribe celebrates these heroes today and every day.

🌈 Pride doesn't end on June 30th.
This past month, we celebrated and helped preserve stories of identity, resilience, perseverance, and joy. We were also honored to begin discussions of a partnership with INSIGHT--an extraordinary Ukrainian LGBTQIA+ organization--while we visited Chernivtsi in May.

At Docutribe, we believe every person deserves to be seen, supported, and heard—not just during Pride Month, but every day beyond it. 🌈
