Human rights film fest continues at WWU

Western Washington University is a co-host of the 12th Annual Bellingham Human Rights Film Festival, which begins today and goes until Saturday, Feb. 25, at venues throughout Bellingham.

This year’s lineup of films, which highlight human-rights concerns across the globe, will feature a facilitated discussion after most films and be screened at Western's Fairhaven College Auditorium, unless otherwise indicated.

All evening films are free and start at 7 p.m., with the exception of the opening night films at 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Pickford Film Center. The Bellingham Human Rights Film Festival is made possible by a diverse group of volunteers, with the goal of creating awareness of human rights issues and encouraging ways to effectively respond.

Films, venues and times are available on the website for Western's Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies.
