Our fellows are able to have enriching and successful fellowship experiences because of the grassroots organizations that host them. The Third Millennium Foundation partners with established organizations on the ground and can immerse the fellows in field experience. Our fellows greatly benefit from the experience of working alongside colleagues in the field of their choice, facing the same challenges they face on a daily basis.

- Amnesty International Film Festival
- Region: U.S.A., North America
- Issues: Human Rights, Media
- Mission Statement: Few artistic media have the power to reach across
cultures, languages, and even time itself to influence millions of people
in the language of our daily lives. Film has such power. Each year dozens
of talented filmmakers work against long odds, short finances, and threatening
politics to bring to the screen powerful stories of human struggle, sacrifice,
and triumph.
Some documentary filmmakers have risked their very lives so that we may be moved by far-off stories that, once told, seem very much closer to home. The Amnesty International Film Festival is dedicated to bringing these stories to our communities so that our colleagues, neighbors, and friends can see for themselves the full-range of challenges facing people in every part of the world.
