Sources of Justice in Films features films as a dynamic form of primary sources for classroom instruction to: engage students; encourage deep reflection; promote dialogue; and document their personal experience with justice and in their communities. There are two parts to the online programming-- Friday film screenings and a summer institute to engage with the filmmakers. All are welcome to one or more of the events. [Note: The Friday film screenings are not a prerequisite for the summer institute. Participants will get private access to films before the institute.]
