Who We Are
The three founding directors, a Jew, a Christian and a Muslim, are working together for peace and justice by offering the American public media which shows another side of Middle Eastern issues.

AF has over twenty producers who help with every aspect of video production, broadcasting, and dvd distribution to libraries and schools.

Several independent video producers are affiliated with Alternate Focus and make their documentaries available to us for broadcast. Nationally recognized organizations are working with us as suppliers of content and as distributors. We continue to seek affiliation with producers, distributors, and interested organizations.

In July 2004, Alternate Focus was granted the status of a nonprofit corporation under Tax Code 501C-3. This makes the organization eligible for grants and enables us to receive tax-deductible donations .

Our Mission
We are dedicated to offering the American public media that provides balance to existing coverage of Middle East and related issues.

Ways to Help Alternate Focus

Bring Your Documentary to Alternate Focus

Alternate Focus would like to showcase your compelling and appropriate videos on our weekly, national television broadcast project. Now is the time for all of us to work together in the media to bring a balance to what is being broadcast to American audiences. By broadcasting your films to a nationwide audience, we will help to provide this neccessary balance. In addition, your film/s will benefit from receiving national exposure. Please call or e-mail us if you have a Middle East-related documentary.
