The second annual Huntsville Human Rights Film Festival will take place September 14-16, 2023, on the campus of the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Sponsored by the UAH Humanities Center, UAH Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, City of Huntsville Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and United Women of Color, the Festival showcases films, documentaries, and dialogue with community members and advocates from Huntsville, the region, and the state of Alabama. The Festival also shines the spotlight on national issues with local impacts.
This year's Festival theme, Community Health is a Human Right, focuses the lens on the collective health and well-being of a community, elevates human rights as a public good, and exposes threats to safe, healthy communities across four dimensions:
Community Mental Health
Policing
Environmental Health
Food Insecurity
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.
