Peace Through Cinema: Short Films About Peace

This month, HI-Boston is hosting a very special edition of its monthly foreign film series by exploring peace through cinema. The selected films highlight a variety of themes, including hunger, war, and poverty, and how each film's protagonists attempt to overcome them through everyday actions and aspirations. After each screening, a brief discussion will follow with questions and facts around the film's message and theme, before moving onto the next film and its related topic. We hope to cover a wide variety of themes and issues, and look forward to a set of very diverse conversations. HI-Boston will provide handouts with additional background, discussion questions and information about the Sleep for Peace initiative, and how you can help. And as always, free popcorn will be available to all who attend.

Films that will be shown include:

Featured Films Include:
-The Thing That Happened (Uganda - 7:10 p.m.)
-Sari's Mother (Iraq - 7:45 p.m.)
-Amar (India - 8:20 p.m.)
-The Day After Peace (United States - 8:40 p.m.)

This event is held in celebration of "Sleep for Peace" in honor of the International Day of Peace on September 21. Sleep for Peace reinforces the purpose of HI-USA as a peacebuilding organization by showing the power of citizen diplomacy and the educational value of travel. Those that stay in HI-USA as well as other HI hostels around the world can take part in a variety of activities and events that will be engaging, fun and show the power of peaceful travel.
