| "Big Men," featured at the USF Human Rights Festival, a cautionary tale about the toll of American oil investment in West Africa. |
The 13th annual USF Human Rights Film Festival selected films that addressed human rights abuses in locations as varied as the U.S., China, Guatemala, Israel, Palestine, Mexico, South Africa, the Marshall Islands, and Kashmir.
As with past festivals the goals were to promote awareness and discussion of global human rights issues and explore challenges to human rights in specific locations. Organizers believe in the power of film to educate about human rights violations and encourage citizens to take action.

Having met international actor, Malick Bowens (Out of Africa, Muhammed Ali, The Believers) during my coverage of the Cannes International Film Festival, for more than two decades, it was great to hear the news that Malick presented the Lifetime Achievement Award at March 30th ceremonies in France:
"I had the extraordinary honor to present The Lifetime Achievement Award to Marina Vlady at the 10th Annual Prix de Henri Langlois, the founder of French Cinematheque, at UNESCO in Paris." Malick Bowens
