“Many people make documentary movies; Dorothy Fadiman crafts crusades. She’s a force of nature, relentless in her pursuit of accuracy and excellence, unremittingly progressive, and yet canny and strategic in the way she develops her arguments. Reading about how she does this is equal to a Master’s Degree in Communications.”

—Peter Coyote, Actor/Author/Emmy Award–winning narrator of more than 100 documentary productions

“Combining the political passion of the ’60s and ’70s with a DIY approach now familiar on YouTube, Fadiman embodies the best of both generations, a fusion that makes this book indispensable to all those interested in documenting their own era or engaging with their own times.”

—Marsha Kinder is Professor of Critical Studies and Founding Director of The Labyrinth Project at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.

Fadiman’s films have made a difference and this book will show you, step by step, how your work can too. Producing with Passion is a must read for anyone setting out to make social change media.”
