Amnesty International Film Festival presents "Hate Crimes and Hope: LGBT Stories From the Bay"
Followed by Q & A discussion with Chris Daley from Transgender Law Center.
Join the Amnesty International Film Festival and local LGBT organizations for the screenings of two outstanding films documenting hate crimes and stories of hope in the Bay Area.
Not In Our Town, Northern California: When Hate Happens Here traces the stories of communities responding to hate crimes in our own region. The common tie for all the stories is a hateful act; their common hope is turning diversity into strength.
This Way Out tells the story of three individuals who escaped persecution at home based on their sexual orientation to claim refugee status in the United States. Besides portraying eloquent accounts of the protagonists' experiences in Brazil, Kenya and Pakistan, the film questions what kind of asylum the U.S. provides for them and what kind of "freedom" they have found.
FREE and open to the public.
