Freedom of Speech Film Festival
Friday, September 18 – Sunday, September 20
Co-Presented With FIRE: The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression
The FREEDOM OF SPEECH FILM FESTIVAL is a pilot program that offers three different approaches to addressing and discussing issues of freedom and expression using cinema as a medium of empathy, education, and entertainment. The intention of this program is that cinemas and community groups in other parts of the U.S. can take these as a blueprint for events in their own areas.
