Ana Pincus is a mother, filmmaker, and philanthropist passionate about the power of storytelling to amplify voices, challenge perspectives, and inspire meaningful change.

Inspired by her personal journey of healing and transformation, Ana Pincus established the Akhilanda Foundation in 2021. In her early twenties, she spent over a year working alongside Mother Teresa at the Home for the Dying in Calcutta, an experience that later led her to produce and direct a documentary exploring Mother Teresa’s work. These formative experiences, together with her own life journey, shaped Ana’s enduring commitment to compassion, human connection, and the power of storytelling to inspire change.

Ana is also a partner at Docland, a film production company creating socially conscious content. In addition to her work with Docland, she independently produces and directs films and documentaries that explore deeply human stories and experiences, often centering on healing, resilience, and transformation.

In recognition of her impact, Ana received the Amplify Impact Award in 2021 and was honored as the Voice of Courage at Exhale to Inhale’s 4th Annual Gala in 2022.
