Fork Films: Telling Stories That Spark Conversations and Drive Change
Fork Films is a production company that specializes in creating nonfiction media that makes an important social contribution. The company's mission is to tell stories that disarm, illuminate, and spark conversation. With women often at the center of their productions, Fork Films places a particular emphasis on subjects that have been overlooked, people who have been underestimated, and stories that have been left out of the mainstream conversation.
Founded by Abigail Disney and Gini Reticker in 2007, Fork Films has produced numerous award-winning documentaries over the years. Some of their most notable works include "Pray the Devil Back to Hell," "The Trials of Spring," "The Armor of Light," and "Women, War & Peace." These films tackle issues such as gender inequality, human rights abuses, gun violence prevention, and more.
One thing that sets Fork Films apart from other production companies is their commitment to supporting change-driven media beyond just producing it themselves. They also provide grants to other filmmakers who share their vision for creating impactful nonfiction content. Through their grant program called The Fledgling Fund (which they co-founded), they've supported dozens of films over the years.
In addition to producing documentaries themselves and supporting others who do so as well through grants; Fork Films also engages with audiences through various outreach initiatives such as hosting screenings followed by panel discussions or Q&A sessions with experts on relevant topics related to each film's subject matter.
Fork Film's dedication to telling stories about underrepresented communities has earned them recognition from both critics and audiences alike. Their work has won numerous awards including Emmy Awards for Outstanding Documentary Series ("Women War & Peace") as well as Peabody Awards ("Pray the Devil Back To Hell" & "The Trials Of Spring").
