After a decade of short films and big issues, Media That Matters continues to inspire and impact people across the globe. The tenth annual festival will feature twelve new films—each under twelve minutes—that will inspire audiences to screen, act, impact.  Transgender youth identity, deep-seated racial prejudice in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, detainee accounts of their imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay and the human right to health care are just a few of the topics that are covered in this year’s collection.
