BLOCK 1: Indigenous Futures

Today's economies of scale, from fossil fuels to recycling, threaten to exploit entire ways of life. Is another world possible when the balance is so delicate?

BLOCK 2: Be Seen, Stand Up

The atrocities of the American Slave Trade and the Second World War reveal stark comparisons to the looming fascism on display in the days before the 2020 election.

BLOCK 3: Ask for Jane

Based on real events, Ask for Jane tells the story of a group of young college women who developed an underground abortion network that helped over 11,000 women get illegal abortions in Chicago between 1969 and 1973.

BLOCK 4: A Higher Calling

Films begging the question "Can art stop a bullet from being fired?" What is required of socially conscious art?

BLOCK 5: Racial Justice

In America’s backyard, communities held captive by policies targeting gangs and drugs sacrifice their youth for a false sense of justice, and safety.

BLOCK 6: Big Ideas, Small Run Times

These shorts took home some big prizes from Social Justice Film Festival 2020. They range from a variety of topics, from equity in sports to stories of refugees in strange lands.
