Where can I get a grant for an artistic project?

Over the past two years I've spent countless nights tossing and turning while my head is streaming ideas of a documentary book on the people I know in Bosnia and Croatia.
Over the past year I've been fascinated with movies, and would like to take a summer vacation's time to develop a documentary film and movie about the subject of war, how it impacts people while it's going on and how it impacts the next few generations after the war is over. I'd like to tell the story of my neighbors and family from a journalistic point of view, and include gripping interviews and photographs.
The question is, how can a two month project be funded so that books can be printed and dvd's can be distributed. There are thousands of grants out there but I can't seem to find any that fit my type of work.
does anyone know of any grants locally that fund artists? does the CIA have anything in place?
Also any feedback on my idea would be appreciated. I'd like for the documentary not to make people feel sorry or sad, I'd like for people to learn something about the region and it's people and the impact of war, civil war.
