Ambulante

Documental Ambulante is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support and promote documentary film as a tool for social change. This award supports roundtable discussions and documentary screenings about maternal health in Ambulante's annual film festival. The purpose is to raise awareness about midwifery'S safety, convenience, and practicality for improving maternal health care.

Documental Ambulante is Mexico’s largest documentary film festival. With MacArthur funds, Ambulante will raise the visibility of migration issues in Mexico through documentary production and screenings. A series of screenings of migration films, talks with filmmakers, and roundtable discussions will be organized as part of Ambulante’s annual documentary film festival in 2015. With expert guidance, youth from rural communities will be trained in documentary filmmaking and will produce films on their personal histories with migration and the particular context in which they live.
