For 42 years, Kartemquin Films has been making documentaries that examine and critique society through the stories of real people. Kartemquin's first film in 1966, Home For Life -- a powerful chronicle of two elderly people entering a home for the aged, established the direction the organization would take over the next four decades.-Kartemquin Films is a home for independent filmmakers developing documentary as a vehicle to deepen our understanding of society through everyday human drama. Focusing on people whose lives are most directly affected by social and political change and who are often overlooked or misrepresented by the media, Kartemquin's films open up a dialogue, both in communities and between the general public and policymakers.Check out our website at http://www.kartemquin.com
