Her joy and sense of adventure inspired everyone who knew her. Even more, I was lucky to have Diane include me in her close circle of love and friendship since the day we met. Her wisdom and shining example always inspired us to try harder, aim higher, treat everyone with more kindness and generosity. “Diane was my most cherished partner for over 12 years at Participant,” Jonathan King, former President of Narrative Film and Television at Participant, said in a statement. “She was as enthusiastically supportive of the filmmakers creating narrative work as she was of her own projects. And I am forever grateful for her friendship and for the incredible legacy that she leaves to the world.” Her deep and heartfelt empathy, creative vision, and unwavering commitment to supporting each and every person she encountered made her the most cherished of colleagues, mentors, and friends.

“She shone a powerful spotlight on stories that provoked thoughtful action to promote justice and ignited progress toward a better, safer and more equitable future. “It is not hyperbole to say that Diane Weyermann changed the world for the better in a remarkable way,” former Vice President Al Gore said about her. Our team, the film industry, and the world have suffered a great loss. I am deeply grateful for Diane’s dedication to helping me build Participant. I will miss her spirit, her collegiality, and the effervescence she brought to everything she touched. Diane was the heart and soul of Participant. Over 17 years together, she was a champion in every way, through strategic, industry, and emerging global challenges. “From day 1, Diane brought a passion to her work and cared deeply about the battles we helped fight over the issues portrayed in each film. “In the very earliest days of Participant, I was incredibly lucky to have Diane agree to run our newfound documentary department, including our first documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’” Jeff Skoll, founder of Participant, said. ‘Fauci’ Film Review: Documentary on COVID Fighter Emerges as a Portrait of Public Service Her very presence transformed everyone at Participant and words cannot express how much we will miss her.” She brought integrity, passion, and unwavering commitment to every project she undertook. From the landmark documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ which helped awaken millions of global citizens to the ravages of climate change to “American Factory” and its brilliant examination of what it means to work in America today to the upcoming “The First Wave,’ which bravely captures the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic in New York, Diane’s ability to partner with world class filmmakers in telling the most important stories of our time leaves an indelible legacy that cannot be matched. There was no story worth telling that Diane shied away from. “We are heartbroken and devastated over the passing of our leader and friend, Diane Weyermann,” Participant CEO David Lind e said in a statement Thursday night. “As the steward of Participant films for the past 17 years, she showed how fierce determination to authentic storytelling can drive civic participation and create a more empathetic world.
