DocuMentality seeks to normalize a conversation about mental health and well-being in the documentary industry, and to provide best practice guidance and information for documentary filmmakers to become more resilient resources for themselves, their teams and the people who entrust them with their stories.

DocuMentality ran a series of focus groups in the UK and the USA in 2022 and 2023 to hear directly from filmmakers about their mental health experiences and needs. Research findings are written up in the Price of Passion Report.

We are in the process of achieving our aim to create an online resource (guidance, supporting materials and toolkit) that documentary makers could use to take care of their own mental health and those with whom they work and film.
