Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022
Morehouse College, the nation’s only college dedicated to educating and developing men of color, announced the expanded dates, early selection films, and new advisory board for the Fourth Annual Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival (MCHRFF), scheduled for September 20-24, 2022 in-person on the Morehouse campus and The Plaza Theatre. The five-day event will be presented by Chromatic Black in partnership with Steal The Sun Studios. The festival will also be accessible virtually from September 20 to September 30, 2022. Badges are now on sale at a 50 percent discount.
The threefold goal of MCHRFF is to educate and expand awareness of social justice issues, to generate conversation and dialogue around civil and human rights, and to inspire innovative and creative new approaches to social change. The documentary, feature-length, and short film screenings provoke discussions about immigration, race, gender identity, politics, health care, and law enforcement, along with many other human rights and social justice topics.
“The Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival extends the College’s position as an institution founded on the principles of equality and social justice, giving filmmakers a platform of distinction to showcase and discuss projects with themes that meet at the intersection of art and activism, and also continuing to provide humans a place to learn, connect, and celebrate being humans first,” said Kara Walker, executive director of the MCHRFF.
