A Film Festival With a Conscious
For movies with a conscious, check out the 2008 Seattle Human Rights Film Festival (SHRFF). Sponsored by Amnesty International Puget Sound, this year’s theme is “Justice Without Borders.”
The festival is features films that showcase the all too often over-looked human rights atrocities around the world, and brings to the public films that would otherwise not be available. Through awareness of these issues comes the power to change them.
The films are powerful, and full of hope, survival, and the need for positive change. They’ll make you laugh and cry, but perhaps, more importantly, they’ll make you think.
Location: Films will be screened at the Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Avenue, between Pike and Pine Street on Capitol Hill.
Dates & Times: Through February 17th. Times vary.
Tickets: $8, available online.
