206 Zulu: The Social Justice Film Festival 2018
206 Zulu
October 5, 2018

7 Days. 37 Films. 5 Venues around Seattle.

With the theme of Hope and Democracy, this year’s films explore government by the people in the world today. Who belongs? Is it healthy? How are people shaping it and owning it?

Amidst turbulent times, our festival reveals the bright and most human moments. Sometimes they are flashes where creativity sparks activism. Sometimes persistence and perseverance are True North.

Come see what’s happening in the world. Prepare to be inspired.
