Cantor Film Center (CANT)
36 East 8th Street, New York NY 10003
Celebrating the thesis documentaries produced by the NYU Journalism NewsDoc grad students
From the pursuit of spirituality and healing in the life of a Tibetan nun to the dreams of a Rohingya refugee seeking education, these films explore resilience, identity, and the human spirit. Themes of reconnection, cultural defiance, and the impact of media bias unfold against diverse backdrops, from the Armenian diaspora to the Uyghur experience in Boston. Witness the power of dreams and the triumph over limitations in the lives of disabled individuals finding ways to assert their physical strength. This collection encapsulates a shared human experience, transcending borders to celebrate the strength, diversity, and interconnectedness of the human journey.
