The 16th Annual Docuwest Documentary Film Festival Oct. 16-18, 2025 at the Holiday Theatre.

We Have Issues. What Are Yours?

We are a festival that curates stories about civil rights, music, the environment, LGTBQ+, democracy and more. We have issues. What are yours?

Issues aren’t flaws. They are fuel. Propelling documentary filmmakers to invite us to learn, question and care  about issues that may confront, confirm or disrupt viewpoints.

Issues give voice to the voiceless. Shine light on what’s hidden in shadows. And prove that ordinary people create extraordinary change when they care enough to act.

As you get to know us. DocuWest once again presents stories geared towards audiences who are more likely stand for civil rights than walk a red carpet. Who are willing to get involved. We Have issues. What Are Yours? When we meet, let’s share more.
