“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

These “films for thought” bear witness to human rights violations and create a forum for courageous individuals on both sides of the lens to empower audiences with the knowledge that personal commitment can make a difference. The film festival brings to life social issues, civil rights abuses, and environmental concerns through storytelling in a way that challenges each individual to empathize and demand justice for all people.
