26 Blocks Doc

26 Blocks Doc is a Jersey City-based media production company specializing in documentary filmmaking and storytelling. We empower voices and craft visions through collaborative projects, focusing on community-driven narratives and social impact. Our work centers on exploring complex issues like gentrification and its effects on marginalized communities, particularly the African American community in Jersey City. We combine investigative journalism with compelling visuals to educate and inspire action.

At the heart of 26 Blocks lies a dedicated team of journalists, activists, and filmmakers committed to preserving and amplifying the stories of those impacted by urban development. We delve into the challenges of hyper-gentrification, examining the struggles of residents fighting displacement and the efforts of local leaders advocating for equitable participation.

Through our documentary series and related projects, including Sarah’s Daughters, we aim to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and ultimately contribute to a more just and inclusive future. We are actively seeking funding and professionals to support our ambitious project and ensure the next generation of content creators thrives.

Founded in 1997, 26 Blocks has a rich history of documenting community struggles and celebrating local heroes. We are proud to be a vital part of Jersey City’s cultural landscape, providing a platform for diverse voices and perspectives.
