The Detroit Women of Color, Inc. uplifts the stories of Black and Brown girls and women
through independent films. We produced the Detroit Women of Color International Film Festival, the Sacred Waters Spirituality Film Festival, the 3Rs Progressive Film Festival, and the
United States Social Forum Film Festival. In 2019 our critically acclaimed
Detroit Women of Color International Film Festival returned.

The Detroit Women of Color, Inc. distinguishes itself from other local film festivals and programs that strictly focus on entertainment. We believe in the power of Black and Brown girls and women to shape their own stories and change the world. We nurture leaders to use their collective voices to advocate for their rights, develop a marketable skill set that expands beyond filmmaking, and produce media innovators who redefine the way girls and women of color are perceived.
