The Seattle Human Rights Film Festival (SHRFF) celebrates the invaluable contribution filmmakers offer to raising public awareness and understanding of often overlooked human rights issues. Since 1992, SHRFF has brought some of the world's most thought-provoking films to our community, covering critical issues that face us as global citizens. Through scenes of despair, death and destruction, themes of survival, compassion and hope emerge.
SHRFF films cover a wide range of important human rights topics from across the globe, each with their own unique, compelling stories to tell. Our film selection and festival goals remain consistent with Amnesty International's mission to "investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilize the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world.â€
2009 promises to be our most successful year yet! Featuring a variety of special engagements at premiere Seattle venues, an exceptionally impressive selection of 16 cutting-edge documentaries, and a wealth of guest speakers that will include award-winning filmmakers, producers, activists and academics, SHRFF ‘09 is a human rights event not to be missed.
