The countdown is on! The 7th Annual Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival is in the books, and this year’s lineup was bigger and bolder than ever. With over 137 submissions from 18 countries, we showcased over 55 powerful official selections—stories that challenge, uplift, and provoke thought across borders and generations.

Sixteen films were nominated for awards across four categories: Narrative Short, Documentary Short, Documentary Feature, and Student Film—each one chosen for its impact, vision, and resonance with human rights themes that matter now more than ever.
