The screening will begin at 7 p.m., followed by a panel discussion with human rights activists and experts, including Dr. James Orbinski, director of the Dahdaleh Institute. The panelists will offer much-needed discussion on the state of the world and the search for practical steps toward building better communities.

The panel discussion will also include Farida Deif, director of Human Rights Watch Canada, and Bob Watts, First Peoples Group. Rachel Pulfer, executive director of Journalists for Human Rights, will moderate the event.
Date and time: Friday, June 17 at 7 p.m.
