DIPFASOCA (Divine Progress Films for Social Change in Africa) started in 2010 under the name “Moral Films Productions.” In 2016, we changed the name to Divine Progress Films for Africa to better reflect our mission of using arts and culture to contribute to community development in Africa.
DIPFA was founded in 2010 in Cameroon. We originally operated under the name Moral Films Productions until 2016, when we changed the name to Divine Progress Films for Social Change inAfrica (DIPFASOCA). This name change was motivated by our desire to use arts and cultural promotion to drive sustainable development in our communities and continent.
