Description

Press release from the University of Alabama in Huntsville: March 29, 2022 The Huntsville Human Rights Film Festival will take place March 30 – April 3 on the campus of The University of Alabama in Huntsville, a part of The University of Alabama System. The Festival is a collaboration of the UAH Humanities Center, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Office of Student Life, North Alabama School for Organizers, Southern Fried Film Festival, North Alabama Standing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) and other campus and community groups. The Festival elevates the twin themes of environmental and social justice through documentaries, feature-length films, guest speakers, artists and performances that vividly portray stories of hope, anguish, resilience and strength – pillars of the inexorable, global movement of marginalized peoples toward social justice. These are voices and experiences not often heard, and the Festival opens the door for memorable film experiences and eye-opening, first-person interactions among diverse people groups. All events are free and open to the public. Film screening locations include Morton Hall, Chan Auditorium and Charger Union on the campus of The University of Alabama in Huntsville.
