The Amnesty International Film Festival is proud to present its 6th annual program in Salt Lake City. This year's festival features 14 films, on some of the most important issues facing the global community. Often challenging and inspiring, these real life stories are compelling and powerful and they help us understand what it means to be a citizen of the world today. The festival celebrates the significant contributions made by filmmakers worldwide to the awareness and understanding of human rights issues.
The Amnesty International Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing some of the world's best documentary and fiction films related to human rights. Through the art of film, with its unique ability to bring the viewer in touch with raw reality, the Festival strives to expose new audiences to human rights abuses occurring around the globe, including in the United States. Using the resources of Amnesty International, we strive to provide our audiences with concrete opportunities to take action against these abuses.
The Amnesty International Film Festival started in 1991 and now screens annually in Seattle, Salt Lake City, West Hollywood, Pittsburgh and Asheville, NC, as well as on dozens of university and high school campuses around the US, with our Festival On Campus program. This year Amnesty International USA is launching a new venture with National Geographic to start an annual festival in Washington DC.
We hope to offer our communities an opportunity to bare witness to, and to honor our collective struggles for freedom. And should some who attend be moved to action, Amnesty International is ready to help you get involved. For each film being screened, the Amnesty International Film Festival has gathered related news, research and action opportunities, which are available online at our website.
