Dear John,

Join World BEYOND War for our annual virtual film festival throughout the month of March!

This year’s festival theme examines the increasing repression of nonviolent protest, criminalization of dissent, and the curtailing of freedom of speech worldwide. This year’s film festival creates space for this timely discussion of what’s at stake for those who stand up for peace and justice, and how we can rise up in solidarity to grow our movements in the face of repression.

Featuring:

Boycott (2021), which traces the impact of state legislation in the U.S. designed to penalize individuals and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights record. A legal thriller with “accidental plaintiffs” at the center of the story, Boycott is a bracing look at the far-reaching implications of anti-boycott legislation and an inspiring tale of everyday Americans standing up to protect our rights in an age of shifting politics and threats to freedom of speech.
Silenced: The War on Journalism (2025): This new Al Jazeera documentary shines a light on journalists who paid the ultimate price for their work. From war zones to political cover-ups, their courageous reporting exposed critical truths, but also made them targets. As attacks on journalists rise globally, the film exposes how press freedom is under siege in both autocratic regimes and democratic societies.
Solidarity Crime (2019) denounces the systematic policies of human rights violations against migrants and all those who have stood in solidarity with them. Migrants have been criminalized for years; for more than a decade now, even people who show solidarity and help them have been considered "solidarity criminals". In this documentary, we will learn about the history of the different actors of solidarity and address the key questions behind this reality: why is the only limited mobility in globalization human mobility? What alternatives can we imagine in the face of the nationalist drift?
