Our Documentary Fund is currently paused.
From 1981-2025, CAAM funded to hundreds of independent documentary films about the Asian American experience for public television with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The CAAM Documentary Fund played a crucial role in growing the field of nonfiction storytelling about Asian American communities, producing many foundational projects, such as the groundbreaking and Peabody Award-winning Asian Americans series, the Emmy-award winning documentary Free Chol Soo Lee, and The Chinese Exclusion Act. Some of the foundational earliest documentaries about our community, such as Loni Ding’s Ancestors in the Americas.
Please check back for future opportunities.
