Celebrate National Poetry Month with Poetry of Resilience
The Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Project invites you to celebrate
National Poetry Month by seeing the last installment in its 2018 human rights
film series: Poetry of Resilience. Academy Award nominated director
Katya Esson's (Ferry Tales, Skydancer) exquisitely made film explores
survival, strength, and the power of the human heart, body and soul as
expressed through poetry. She highlights six different poets who individually
survived Hiroshima, the Holocaust, China's Cultural Revolution, the Kurdish
genocide in Iraq, the Rwandan genocide, and the Iranian Revolution. By
summoning the creative voice of poetry to tell stories of survival and witness,
each reclaims humanity and dignity in the wake of some of history's most
dehumanizing circumstances. 40 minutes.
