Netflix created this documentary fund to help small filmmakers get recognised by experts. They said it's to"break down barriers of access for emerging filmmakers". Another aspect of the fund includes training where all shortlisted filmmakers have the chance to take part in lessons that cover all elements of production including legal, creative, HR, production and finance., Kate Townsend, from Netflix’s documentary fund team, said:"We are thrilled today to announce our second year cohort who we are sure will also go on to supercharge their careers too.
"From an amazing story about two mothers with a unique bond in Ireland, to uniting communities as part of the deaf rave scene in Hackney, we are very much looking forward to kicking off production on these documentaries and seeing what these filmmakers can achieve."
