About Dudley Alexis
Dudley Alexis is an independent filmmaker who uses his lens to document the stories of people who are often overlooked. His storytelling is able to reveal their tales of tragedy and triumph, all while emphasizing their drive for dignity and equality in a world that frequently marginalizes them. His work focuses on the intersections between social justice, climate change, economics, and cultural memory. Dudley began his career as a filmmaker and visual artist in Miami, Florida, where he started producing short documentary pieces focused on the First Nation Miccosukee Tribe of Florida. His body of work has since grown to include several impactful documentaries, such as Liberty in a Soup (2016), which was recognized by UNESCO following the designation of Soup Joumou as an intangible cultural heritage. His acclaimed documentary, When Liberty Burns, offers an in-depth exploration of the life and tragic death of Arthur McDuffie at the hands of Miami-Dade police in 1979. This film earned nominations for both the Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards and the Knight Made in Miami Film Award. Recent works include the Edge of Hope, an examination of communities grappling with the frontlines of climate injustice in Miami, Florida. The Creole Pig: Haiti’s Great Loss (released on WLRN and PBS in 2025), tells the story of a vital and resilient animal central to Haitian rural life that was eradicated in the 1980s by the USDA and Haitian government—an event that deepened the country’s economic challenges.
