Amnesty International Toronto Presents the 7th Annual Reel Awareness Film Festival

Taking place at the Carlton Cinema from November 15 to 18, the festival features inspiring and heartbreaking stories that promise to enrich our understanding and awareness of the world around us.

The festival kicks off with A Whisper to a Roar - a feature-length documentary focusing on the compelling personal stories of democracy activists in Egypt, Malaysia, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe, as they struggle against oppressive regimes to bring freedom to their people.  Shot over the span of three years, the film is a deeply affecting and inspiring portrait of the struggle for justice.. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Ben Moses

The highlight of the festival is You Don’t Like the Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantánamo - a compelling documentary based on recently declassified security footage of Omar Khadr’s interrogation at Guantánamo Bay. Screening on Friday, November 16, the film offers a disturbing inside look at Khadr’s imprisonment and analyzes the political and legal implications of the polarizing case.

Saturday and Sunday’s programs each feature four hard-hitting documentaries that examine human rights issues in Israel, Palestine, Mexico, Egypt, and Canada and focus on topics ranging from corporate responsibility and torture to women and Aboriginal rights.

Many of the films will be followed by Q&A sessions with filmmakers, community activists, and human rights experts. Amnesty International will also be on-hand to provide further information about the issues raised by the films, as well as to provide opportunities to take action on these issues.

“This is an outstanding lineup of films that address major global issues and show deeply compelling personal struggles against difficult odds,” said Elena Dumitru, organizer of the festival. “We hope the Reel Awareness Film Festival can help spark constructive discussion on global human rights issues and inspire Torontonians to take an interest in such issues.”

The opening reception of the festival will be held at 6:30 pm on Thursday, November 15, prior to the first screening at 7:30 pm.

We’ve teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures Canada to give away advanced screening tickets to see Trouble With The Curve starring Clint Eastwood, Justin Timberlake, and Amy Adams! To win tickets, comment below with your favourite Clint Eastwood film and why. Winner will be selected at random.

Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus—who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat—refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice.
The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country’s hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner.
Against her better judgment, and over Gus’s objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Forced to spend time together for the first time in years, each makes new discoveries—revealing long-held truths about their past and present that could change their future.

Trouble With The Curve hits theatres on September 21, 2012.
