Training filmmakers of color to create stories of justice and love.
Justice for My Sister Collective (JFMS) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2011 with the mission to train women of color, nonbinary artists, and foster youth to make films with a gender equity and racial justice lens, as a means to heal from trauma and overcome financial barriers to entering the TV & film industry.
Our Work
Through video production trainings and leadership opportunities for women of color and LGBTQ young adults, Justice for My Sister creates safe spaces within marginalized communities with a trauma-informed approach so that participants may leverage stories and technology to advocate for issues important to them. Learn more about our programs and work in the community.
The film
The award-winning documentary film Justice for My Sister takes an intimate look at violence against women in Guatemala by chronicling the three-year journey of Rebeca Eunice Perez as she tries to hold her sister’s killer accountable. The film serves as the centerpiece of a transnational campaign to promote healthy relationships and denounce gender-based violence and femicide/feminicide.
