    A new movement in the Ciudad Juárez street art scene plays a major role in the fight for justice in the Mexican border town.

Moving through the roads of Mexico’s most violent city and meeting young artists, the film explores this new art movement of protest and solidarity.

  4. Women’s March Film

    Mischa Hedges / SFUFF 2018, Documentary, Shorts / USA / 2018 / 30 mins
    On January 21, 2017, hundreds of thousands of women marched on Washington, DC. The same day, hundreds of sister marches took place across the country and around the world. For some, it was their first time marching, for others, the continuation of a decades-long fight for human rights, dignity, and justice. For all, it was an opportunity to make their voices heard. It was the largest one-day protest in American history.
