Human Rights

The Boston Firefly Project invites you to attend a free human rights film series aimed at engaging Boston's rich arts, activists and academic community in human rights awareness, advocacy and action.  We've organized five free screenings focused on local and international communities struggling with human rights injustices. 

Join us in discussing the films and issues arising from them with guest speakers and acting out our concern for human rights through grassroots action. 

All films are free and begin at 7:30 pm – seating is limited, so please arrive early.
