DirectorDoc Society (UK)
Sandra Whipham is one of the five co-directors of Doc Society.
Sandra heads up the Democracy Story Unit, which will bring storytellers into an ecosystem with academics, activists, journalists and social scientists to think together about what narratives about democracy are most needed and most effective.
Sandra also works on the partnership between Doc Academy (Doc Society's schools offering for documentary film) and Into Film, which elevates documentary film’s role in education to inspire active and empathetic young citizens.
Outside of Doc Society, Sandra is on the Interim Board of the newly formed Documentary Film Council, a new sector-wide organisation for the UK's independent documentary film industry. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and organisations across the documentary sector, the DFC's mission is to enable effective, coordinated action to address the key issues facing our sector.
