"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

What Would You Show in a Film Festival About "Calls to Conscience and Action"
I'm afraid I watch too many movies and documentaries. Some have enlightened me and made me change an aspect of my thinking. But I can't say I've ever watched a movie and actually done some specific work that I didn't do before. After I watched Hotel Rwanda, the need to do something was immense, but I did not know what I could do. I also watched a documentary a few years ago discussing the cluster bombs buried all over Cambodia. Omg it was a total eye opener and absolutely heartbreaking. But, other than donating to orgs that remove bombs there, I didn't know what else to do.
