Biography

Born in Borikén (Puerto Rico), Franklin López has been stirring up trouble with his camera since he was 17. In 1994, he founded subMedia, a platform for radical films spotlighting grassroots anti-capitalist and anti-colonial struggles, eco-defense, and Indigenous sovereignty. After producing hundreds of films and mentoring budding filmmakers, Franklin left subMedia to dive into long-form documentaries and launched Amplifier Films. His credits include INVASION and Yintah—award-winning films chronicling the Wet’suwet’en resistance to oil and gas pipelines—and La Lucha Sigue, which sheds light on COPINH and the legacy of Indigenous land defender Berta Cáceres. Today, he continues amplifying voices of resistance and sharing his skills with those on the frontlines.
