How are
civil rights portrayed in films around the world? Does “civil rights”
mean the same thing around the world? How have movies been a platform
for raising awareness of and advocating civil
rights? How does censorship and implicit bias affect the depiction of
civil rights? Join us to discuss these and other questions.
