10:00 am – 11:15 am:  Perween Rehman: The Rebel Optimist 15 min Break 11:30 am: Freedom of Expression and Documentary Filmmaking in South Asia
This roundtable conversation will explore the role played by filmmakers in South Asia in reporting on controversial topics and the challenges of documentary filmmaking in South Asia. While filmmaking as a form of art is protected by article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, can filmmakers in South Asia exercise this right freely? And if so, what strategies can they adopt in exposing rights violations and inequities in the region? 
Join us for an in-depth exploration of these topics in a roundtable discussion with filmmakers, academics, and community members.
This symposium is organized in collaboration with the South Asia Center at the University of Washington Seattle and Bothell.
