In 2018, Denetra released her first mini-documentary, The Black Angels: A Nurse's Story, which tells the story of African American nurses whose clinical contributions were critical in finding the cure for tuberculosis patients at Seaview Hospital in 1951.

Since then, she has produced several films, including Year of The Nurse and Midwife: A Film Project, Racism in Nursing: The African American Nursing Experience, The Dixie 3: A Story on Civil Rights in Nursing, and her current project, The First Four. Inspired By True Events.

Her work has led to the installation of a historical marker, a bench in a local park, and the introduction of the first documentary masterclass in a university's department of media and journalism.
