Schedule of Events:

Brussels teacher Amal encourages students' passion for reading and freedom of expression, despite risks. Her daring approach leaves a mark on pupils and families

2:00pm - Brides

Two teenage girls in search of freedom, friendship, and belonging run away from their troubled lives with a misguided plan of traveling to Syria.

4:00pm - Village Keeper

A stirring tribute to Black motherhood, Village Keeper follows a grieving widow whose path to healing begins with one question: "How will you help your children without having helped yourself first?"

5:00pm - Opening night: Legacy: The De-Colonized History of South Africa

Apartheid was dismantled in 1994, yet three decades later, South Africa still remains the most unequal country in the world. The roots of this inequality are revealed in this exploration into South African history, exposing why they persist today.

A perspective-shifting documentary that features, in unprecedented access, the grandson of the "Architect of Apartheid", who takes a searingly honest look into his ancestry, exposing not only the systemic strings that Apartheid still holds over South Africa, but the psychological strings as well.
