Jen Senko is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and truth-in-media activist based in New York City. Her documentaries focus on socio-political themes with the intent of inspiring discussion and fomenting change. Senko’s 2016 documentary, narrated by Matthew Modine, The Brainwashing of My Dad tracks the disturbing rise of right-wing media. The film is told through the lens of her father, whose politics and personality were radically transformed after he discovered talk radio. This widely acclaimed project has won numerous awards, has screened in festivals and theaters across the U.S, in Canada, England, Ireland and Sweden. It most recently won the prestigious 2021 Webby People’s Voice Award: Public Service & Activism. It has been adapted into a book by the same name which was published in October, 2021.
Senko’s previous documentary, The Vanishing City co-directed with Fiore DeRosa exposes gentrification’s dire consequences in New York City, but typical of major cities around the world. Kathryn Erbe of Law and Order narrates the film.
Her first documentary, Road Map Warrior Women is a road trip documentary about extraordinarily independent women in the West, and has also won Senko numerous awards.
In addition to filmmaking, Senko is frequently invited to speak at screenings of her film. She defines herself as a social-justice activist-documentarian with a focus on media: “I am passionate about the role of the media and how it plays the most significant part in creating what has essentially resulted in an assault on our democracy.
Senko graduated from Pratt Institute, New York City on the Dean’s list where she studied Communications Design, painting and fashion illustration.
