WHERE CONNECTIONS BECOME POSSIBILITIES
40 Days of Solidarity brings people together from around the world.
And some of the most meaningful moments may happen when we connect with one another.
Whether you’re a filmmaker, musician, artist, writer, human rights advocate, community organizer, or simply someone who believes in a more inclusive world, we invite you to participate, introduce yourself, share ideas, and make new connections.
This is more than a festival. It’s a global community.
