Veteran filmmaker Jeanne Marie Hallacy is passionate about stories of social justice, and, with “Mother, Daughter, Sister,” she has added another film to her already long list of documentaries about human rights issues relating to Southeast Asia.

The Holocaust may have happened more than 70 years ago, but Roger Grunwald is making sure it continues to be talked about. At least, that’s one of his main motivations in creating “The Obligation.”

Restorative justice responses can bring healing for communities where people don’t choose a formal process (filing a complaint or prosecuting a case) or after a case is officially completed.

In recent years, students have redefined the conversation surrounding sexual assault by setting the dialogue of how they wish to speak about it.

Survivors of assault and people who have been following this story as it unfolds at 55 campuses across the country were likely not surprised to learn that the process of reporting and processing these cases is very flawed. The report found that people in authority who were in a position to receive the first notice that an assault had taken place, including athletic staff personnel and resident advisers, were not properly trained on how to get that information to the right people. What can be extrapolated from this data is that more training is needed at many levels of the university system, as well as transparency on the workings and timeline of a sexual assault accusation.
