A unique online documentary film club may be of interest to members looking for some alternative viewing at the moment.

Cultures of Resistance Films is an online film project which aims to create and distribute films that advance public awareness about issues of social and economic justice, and that showcase creative efforts to promote peace and protect human rights. The project was established by Caipirinha Productions.

“We view filmmaking not only as a way of documenting social injustices but also as an important part of the effort to change things for the better. We have been proud to use all of our Cultures of Resistance films to advance a variety of important human rights campaigns. In addition to forming the Cultures of Resistance Network as a way of supporting international peace and justice campaigns.”

Sean Lowde of Fórsa’s Probation branch brought the project to our attention. “The films are progressive and independent and might provide relief for those of us stuck at home with Disney and other such stuff,” he said.

You can view the range of short and feature-length documentaries via YouTube HERE.
