The festival will welcome films about social issues around the world.  Black August is an annual commemoration and prison-based holiday to remember Black freedom fights and political prisoners and to highlight Black resistance against racial oppression. The Black August Film Festival Is unique because it only welcomes films that deal with social stigmas, and issues, from oppression, and minimum wage to the prison population and police abuse, to a variety of other topics. The festival will be filled with thought-provoking content and panels.
