December 2017), who served as a volunteer on the Steering Committee for many years. Welcome to the 18th Annual Bellingham Human Rights Film Festival When democratic principles and rights are now more threatened, our festival brings together invaluable knowledge and people committed to working together for mutual wellbeing, equity, and world peace. This year we offer 25 films on a wide variety of topics, including environmental activism, health care, indigenous rights in the Americas, prisons, and women's issues. We are happy to have thirteen venues throughout the city and county. Most films at our primary venue, Fairhaven College Auditorium on the campus of Western Washington University, are followed by discussions facilitated by someone involved with making the film or by experts familiar with the issues they cover. Representatives and activists from local organizations are also available as resources for further learning and involvement. The program provides times and locations of films using two formats: by daily schedule, and by title along with all screening locations and times for each film. Note that some films are screened only once, others multiple times.
