We Rise Above: New Films on Human Rights

Apr 21, 2015

The 3rd We Rise Above film series explores issues in freedom, human rights and the need to eradicate racism and injustice. Premieres include a vitally important film on the murder and disappearances of young Aboriginal women along British Columbia’s Highway 16 and Ai Weiwei returns with his ongoing forces of censorship in China. The series also contains many tales of courage and human dignity with an entertaining and thought-provoking look at the Raging Grannies movement, a group of older women who refuse to sit down and let life pass them by.
