Created in 2009, the Rights! Camera! Action! film series features documentaries from the Full Frame Archive that focus on human rights related themes across the globe. The series provides an opportunity to connect the Rubenstein Library’s extensive holdings on human rights and social justice to the Duke and Durham community. Every year, there are four film screenings followed by panel discussions with Duke faculty or students, community activists and occasionally the film makers.
