National Multicultural Alliance | Sizzle Reel | 2024

WHO IS THE NATIONAL MULTICULTURAL ALLIANCE?
An alliance of five distinct national organizations, who, with modest support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), bring the authentic stories and diverse perspectives of America’s multicultural communities to public media and its digital platforms.
Black Public Media
Black Public Media (BPM), formerly known as National Black Programming Consortium, develops produces, funds, and distributes media content about the African American and global Black experience. We accomplish this by supporting diverse voices through training, education, and investment in visionary content makers. BPM supported work includes award-winning programs such as The Black Press: Soldiers without Swords (Stanley Nelson), I Am Not Your Negro (Raoul Peck), Maya Angelou: Still I Rise (Rita Coburn-Whack), and Shirley Chisholm: Unbought & Unbossed (Shola Lynch).
Vision Maker Media
Vision Maker Media is the premier source of public media by and about Native Americans for over 46 years. Our mission is empowering and engaging Native people to share stories. We envision a world changed and healed by understanding Native stories and the public conversations they generate. We work with VMM funded producers to develop, produce and distribute programs for all public media. VMM supports training to increase the number of American Indians and Alaska Natives producing public broadcasting programs.
Pacific Islanders In Communications
PIC’s mission is to support, advance, and develop Pacific Island media content and talent that results in a deeper understanding of Pacific Island history, culture, and contemporary challenges. In keeping with the mission, PIC helps Pacific Islander stories reach national audiences through funding support for productions, talent development, broadcast services, and community engagement. This year PIC will have one film in the award-winning series Independent Lens; Eating Up Easter. PIC’s Emmy award winning, six-part series Family Ingredients is gearing up for its third season on PBS and their signature series Pacific Heartbeat, which reached over 24 million households last year, will begin its ninth season in April.
Center For Asian American Media
CAAM’s mission is to present stories that convey the richness and diversity of Asian American experiences to the broadest audience possible. We do this by funding, producing, distributing and exhibiting works in film, television and digital media. CAAM’s award-winning public TV programs are seen by millions of viewers a year across the US. Recent films supported by CAAM include, The Chinese Exclusion Act, by Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu, and Norman Mineta and His Legacy: An American Story, by Dianne Fukami, as well as the forthcoming Asian Americans, co-produced with WETA. CAAM also presents CAAMFest, the world’s largest film festival for Asian and Asian American film.
Latino Public Broadcasting
LPB is public media’s largest Latino-focused content developer and funder providing programming to public television’s nearly 360 stations and media platforms. Supporting the work of Latino filmmakers, LPB has awarded more than 13 million dollars in production funding and provided approximately 248 hours of national programming and digital content to PBS. LPB produces VOCES, the PBS documentary series showcasing the rich diversity of the Latino experience. Some productions include Latino Americans, DOLORES, Raúl Juliá The World’s a Stage, The Longoria Affair, Ruben Salazar Man in the Middle among others.
