Welcome to kAMA DC
We are a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting cultural exchange and celebrating the skills and stories of immigrants in the DMV. We believe that immigrants bring unique perspectives and experiences that make our community stronger and more vibrant.
Our organization is run entirely by passionate volunteers who strive to build connections and facilitate learning. Through our skills-based workshops, cooking classes, storytelling nights, film screenings, and other events, we are committed to creating a platform for immigrants to share their skills and stories.
Our activities are possible thanks to a generous grant from Humanities DC.

Upcoming events
10th Annual Immigration Film Fest
In-Person Screenings from October 20th - 22nd: See times and locations through the get tickets button below
Now in its tenth year, the Immigration Film Festival (IFF) began as an initiative of the Washington Ethical Society, a nonprofit, humanistic religious congregation. This year IFF was taken over by, KAMA DC, which is a grassroots organization in Washington, DC that provides a platform for immigrants in the DMV area to share their skills and stories.
Our goal is to tell the story of global immigration through the art form of film and to humanize the plight of immigrants and refugees by sharing their stories. In doing this, we seek not only to entertain but also to inform our audiences and, in partnership with organizations, provide the means by which our audiences can take action to correct the injustices that can force people to leave their homes and the dislocations that can result from migration.
