We believe in making films that challenge and inform the viewer, and encourage dialogue about the choices we make.
Meet Doug, the director
Doug Adams is an independent documentary filmmaker whose work centers on the intersection of history, identify and human resilience. His films examine how social forces influence individual lives and how personal experiences reflect broader cultural forces that shape society.
Against the Wind: The Fight to End Hate examines the resurgence of antisemitism in the United States through the voices of survivors, scholars, and contemporary witnesses. The film traces the historical roots of antisemitism while confronting its modern manifestations in public life, online space, and political movements.
Doug approaches the subject not only as an historical inquiry but as a civic responsibility. The film is grounded in firsthand testimony and careful historical context, seeking to understand how hate persists and what it demands from those who choose to confront it.
His broader documentary work includes projects centered on human coexistence with the natural world. Current fieldwork in East Africa is examining the relationship between local communities and wildlife conservation.
Through his films, Doug aims to create work that informs, challenges, and encourages public dialogue about the moral choices societies face.
Meet Kathy, the producer
Kathy Hanna transitioned from corporate life to documentary filmmaking in 2023 to fuel her genuine desire to make a difference. She approaches both production and archival research with passion and empathy, striving to learn, understand, and educate.
With the resurgence of antisemitism and hate speech, Kathy focused on the relevance of history and its connection to the present-day. Her work on the film was driven by an understanding that history is neither distant nor abstract, but it must be understood to avoid repeating our mistakes. The images, documents, and recorded voices used in the film reflect how propaganda was constructed, how its influence spread so quickly, and how its patterns continue to reappear today.
The archival process is not only about preservation, but about clarity. By grounding the film in verified historical record, her goal was to ensure that the origins and mechanisms of antisemitism and hate speech were seen accurately, and that the continuity between past and present in unmistakable.
The project deepened Kathy’s appreciation for the resilience of humans and their affected communities and strengthened her commitment to using film as a tool for education and change.
