The Fledgling Fund Outreach and Engagement Grant for Social Issue Documentaries

The Fledgling Fund congratulates Aron Gaudet's film, The Way We Get By, for winning the 2009 Fledgling Fund Outreach and Engagement Grant for Social Issue Documentaries.  This new award recognizes potential and achievement in community engagement with documentary film.  We believe that The Way We Get By has an enormous opportunity to engage new audiences in discussions around aging, loneliness, war and mortality.  We also congratulate the runners up for the award:

Fresh - directed by Ana Joanes

Land of Opportunity - directed by Luisa Dantas

Speaking in Tongues - directed by Marcia Jarmel & Ken Schneider
