This year’s film festival will showcase works made by independent filmmakers who are affirming labor and other human rights and advocating for social and economic justice. The film festival highlights films that promote a global culture of racial and economic equality and that challenge exploitative and oppressive systems on a local, national and global level.

Proceeds from the film festival support the Center for Social and Economic Justice, a project of the Alliance for Social and Economic Justice, that provides programs and workshops using popular education techniques to develop the leadership of low-wage and immigrant workers in taking action fighting for justice, equality and sustainability.
