Believing in the power of filmmakers to make a difference, The Humane Society of the United States partnered with the SILVERDOCS: AFI/Discovery Channel Documentary Festival to promote animal advocacy through its Animal Content in Entertainment (ACE) program’s $25,000 feature documentary grant. The festival was held in Silver Spring, Md. This year’s five HSUS/ACE grant finalists pitched their animal protection-themed projects to a panel of media professionals from PBS, Animal Planet, Participant and National Geographic. The finalists were selected from over 100 submissions from around the world.  For a list of finalists, as well as the winner, visit www.silverdocs.com.
