Films from around the world to make you think, wonder, be outraged and encouraged.

Festival highlights include SKYPE Q&A with activist/singer HARRY BELAFONTE, community screening of EUGENE JARECKI's latest project and meet director SAM CULLMAN of IF A TREE FALLS which tries to answer the question, "Do crimes against property in which no one is killed or injured constitute acts of terrorism?"
