About this Film

This year we are pleased to announce that we will be screening the award-winning documentary A SMALL ACT directed by Jennifer Arnold. By chronicling the interweaving stories of a Swedish Holocaust survivor, a United Nations human rights lawyer and Kenyan school children, A SMALL ACT bears witness to the ripple effect of one small action on the world at large.

ABOUT OUR 2011 PROGRAM: SMALL ACTS

It is our hope that participants will leave FILMTalks 2011 excited to perform their own "small acts" to make a big difference. Prior to this screening educators will be supplied with relevant curriculum materials on the topics of globalism, genocide, education in Africa and social action filmmaking. Just as importantly, students will be provided with information and guides to connect them with public service organizations.
