GPFF is the Film Festival Central Florida Needs Right Now

Over the past year, I’ve watched countless numbers of friends and strangers stand on the steps of city hall, march alongside their neighbors in solidarity for social justice, get up another day to knock on doors, make phone calls to GOTV, attend rallies, and tirelessly do whatever it takes to make a difference in the run-up to this year’s critical mid-term elections here in Florida where we are also electing a Governor.

Central Florida, in the words of one of our Supervisor of Elections, is at the epicenter of state politics. The vaunted “I-4 corridor” is precious political real estate and everyone wants to influence election outcomes here.

This year, thank goodness, the Global Peace Film Festival (GPFF) is arriving right in the middle of the midterm chaos (Sept. 17–23). Smack between the primaries and the run up to the general, the festival will give all the hardworking volunteers, campaign staff, even the candidates themselves, and all their weary fans and friends, a much needed boost of inspiration and shot of adrenaline to continue to fight the good fight in order to make it across the all-important, looming finish line.

But even if you’re turned off by politics and tired of watching the news, come to the festival to rekindle your hope for the future.
