Online Film Festival – cultureunplugged.com

The other day I noticed that most film festivals (specially on human rights) don’t reach viewers outside the city where the film festival is held.

There is a need to share films about human and social issues online and the http://www.cultureunplugged.com/ site does just that.

You can access the films by clicking on the categories bellow:

Hunger & Poverty	Religion & Belief	Human Rights	War & Conflict	Environment
Housing & Sanitation	Education & Culture	Peace & Democracy	Crime & Violence	Globalization
Health	Politics	Science	Trafficking	Spiritual Awareness
Relationships	Social Development	Race & Gender	Migration

Finally, I leave you the words of “First they came” (the context of this statement by Pastor Martin Niemoller was the inactivity of german intellectuals following Nazi rise to power) to get you going on investing your time on getting aware of what is going on in the world.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
