DocFest Stratford reaches out to its community

Film and TV producer Craig Thompson started DocFest Stratford in 2008 as a way to bring documentaries to his community, Stratford, Ontario - a town devoid of art house theaters and with few opportunities to see non-fiction films. It was also a way to give back to that community by giving young people access to the tools to make their first films.
