Guest for this show is Jasmina Bojic, Executive Director of the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF). 

The 23rd UNAFF to be held online October 15-25, 2020. 

The United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF) is proud to announce its program and schedule for the 23rd year. This year’s event celebrates THE POWER OF EMPATHY through documentary films that highlight human rights issues, including social justice, climate change, racism, health, women’s issues, universal education, war and peace. In this year’s virtual platform, each film will be scheduled on a specific date and will be available to be watched any time during that day, which is also the best way for viewers to stay in lockstep with the dense festival program. Each day of the Festival includes a live Zoom session at 6:00 PM (PST) for festivalgoers to join and learn more about the films from the filmmakers, subjects of the films and experts. The schedule is now online at: http://www.unaff.org/2020/schedule.html

The UNAFF Visionary Award will be presented to legendary singer, songwriter, musician and activist, Joan Baez, recognizing her life-long unwavering commitment to human rights, and her leadership, creativity, persistence, and vision, which inspired several generations to promote peace and a better future for all. Joan Baez is a key subject featured in the film The Boys Who Said No! which profiles the young men and women who actively opposed the military draft in order to end the Vietnam War, and offered to stream on the Festival’s Closing Day on Sunday, October 25.
