BGDM Member Films at Hot Docs 2024

Lissa Deonarain • April 25, 2024

Here's the round-up of films from Brown Girls Doc Mafia members at Hot Docs 2024. It's amazing to see so many BGDM member films at this festival! That is thanks to the amazing work of Hot Docs programming staff, 10 of whom recently left the festival's organizing team. We share our solidarity with those who stepped down, reiterate the importance of safe and equitable workplaces, and uplift how essential programmers are in shaping the festival landscape to be a diverse, vibrant representation of filmmakers.
