Human rights and the environment are intertwined; human rights cannot be enjoyed without a safe, clean and healthy environment; and sustainable environmental governance cannot exist without the establishment of and respect for human rights.

The North Dakota Environmental Rights Film Festival invites filmmakers from around the world who have produced documentary, narrative or experimental films that engage in environmental rights related topics or themes to submit their work to the festival.

Films selected by the Jury will screen in Fargo, North Dakota, at the historic Fargo Theatre on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, 2021.
