The theme of the 2023 Human Rights program is Fight the System. When bureaucracy gets in the way of people’s basic human rights, it takes courage to be the one who is willing to stand up and fight. The subjects of these films speak truth to power to protect not only their own communities, but also positively impact the lives and communities of others.
