MARL Human Rights Film Festival Poster

Join us for the 8th Annual MARL Human Rights Film Festival! Film is a powerful tool that can help spark public education, build collective understanding of inequity and discrimination, and create community dialogue about human rights issues locally and globally.

This year's MARL Human Rights Film Festival will connect the films we're watching to local resources and groups that are taking action for equity and justice.
