Lick-Wilmerding Hosts Human Rights Film Festival May 28, 2008

Some of the world's most pressing human rights issues are tackled in four documentary films to be shown at Lick-Wilmerding High School starting May 28. The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival High School Program supports important and sometimes difficult conversations to inspire youth dialogue and youth media production around issues of human rights. The films put a human face on threats to individual freedom and dignity, and celebrate the power of the human spirit.
