The 12th Annual is here—and tickets are now available for the feature film lineup!

What would those in power rather keep hidden? Discover compelling investigative films that expose wrongdoing and follow former employees who spoke when silence would have been safer.

At a time when accountability is under threat, these films show why it matters—and what it takes to pursue it.

📍 Washington, DC
📅 November 5–8

Plus: Explore two days of DX Forum panels and workshops! Learn about holding government accountable, spotting fabricated images, open-source investigations, citizen journalism, and more. Visit dxfest.com/schedule for details.
