FAN recommends the upcoming Seattle Social Justice Film Festival, which features sixty-one films on a range of social justice topics. It will take place in person April 16-19 at the Pacific Tower in Seattle, and virtually beginning April 20. Two highlighted documentaries look at the intersection of climate change and social justice: Firebreak on Thursday April 16th and The Price of Plenty: Voices from the Valley, on Saturday the 18th. The latter uplifts voices from the Lower Yakima Valley. Both are followed by panel discussions.

Other films throughout the weekend feature such topics as global conflict, police violence, homelessness (including a documentary on Glide Church’s work with those living on the streets in the Bay area), indigenous stories, Gaza, Pride, migration (including the impact of the Trump administration on Native communities), and “Artivism.” The Festival also offers workshops for aspiring and seasoned filmmakers. This is a great opportunity to learn more about issues you’re interested in and make connections with others who share your interests. Please consider viewing with others from your faith community!
