LOCAL
Social Justice Film Festival being held Oct. 14-25 in Seattle
By LYNNE DODSON
The festival takes on five themes throughout the week: Black Lives Matter; Immigration; Indigenous Rights; International; NW Voices; and Worker Justice. The line-up is beautiful — and each evening’s set includes time for discussion.
Though we might have wished this year’s festival was in May — MayWorks! — the timing is really perfect for 2016. As ballots are dropping for this big election, it’s good to be reminded of the reasons we fight for social justice, and why we work to elect candidates who will champion human rights.
