DocuMentality is releasing a comprehensive research report on the state of mental health in the documentary filmmaking community. Titled "The Price of Passion: How Our Love for Documentary Filmmaking Impacts Our Mental Health," the report reflects findings from a series of focus groups with filmmakers from the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Canada and additional sessions with funders. The report delves into the profound impact of the documentary film industry on filmmakers, examining broader cultural aspects, working conditions, and personal consequences associated with this dynamic field, as well as participant suggestions on how to create a brighter future.
