Arriving from points across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East, the artists taking part in the 2008 All Roads Film Festival have gathered to share their stories with each other and the world. After a riveting launch event showcasing 2008 Emerging Explorers 4Real (Sol Guy and Josh Thome), a retrospective of the All Roads' first 5 years and the Somali hip-hop grooves of K'NAAN, the films took center stage with Under the Bombs.

After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2000, The Return of Navajo Boy has gone on to air on TV stations internationally, igniting a series of events resulting in the launch of a federal investigation of uranium houses and the U.S. Dept. of Justice paying out a $100,000 compensation check to a former uranium miner. Filmgoers in the Washington D.C. area will have the opportunity to see the the film with a new epilogue following one determined grandmother's ongoing struggle for environmental justice in the Navajo Nation. Join the conversation on September 25@6pm at Georgetown University, 600 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington D.C./Gewirz 12 floor.
