University of Washington, Kane Hall, April 12-15

We have selected 8 films from the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival focusing on the issues of immigration, violence, globalization, and social responsibility. The HRW International Film Festival plays annually in New York and London. We are proud to premier the festival in Seattle.

World renowned theologians and social advocates present a series of provocative lectures addressing the films' thematic elements within a theological context. These lectures will question, challenge, and stretch the structures of living a life of faith in an unjust world.

Drawing from their experience as filmmakers, scholars, practitioners, and local leaders, our featured panelists will engage in lively conversation on the issues at hand. We invite you to share your questions and ideas at this compelling community forum.
