The sixth annual United Nations Association Film Festival promotes documentary filmmaking as a tool for social and political understanding. The five day event features 30 films from around the world dealing with UN related issues: human rights, environmental survival, women's issues, protection of refugees, homelessness, racism, disease control, universal education, war and peace. UNAFF offers a unique opportunity to view films that are rarely screened, to become familiar with global problems, and to acquire a better understanding of the means to address these problems.
