Jen Senko

Jen Senko, a documentary filmmaker, author, and media-activist based in New York City, is known for her award-winning documentaries; Road Map Warrior Women (2000), The Vanishing City (2010), and The Brainwashing of My Dad (2016) narrated by Matthew Modine. In 2021, The Brainwashing of My Dad received the prestigious People's Voice Award in Public Service & Activism from The Webby Awards. Senko's adaptation of her film into a book of the same name (published on October 5, 2021) tracks the pernicious and addictive rise of right-wing media and how this media served as a tool for libertarian billionaires to get people to vote against their own interests and gain one-party rule. Jen's work focuses on sociopolitical themes with the intent of inspiring activism and fomenting change.
