The power and relevancy of film documentaries for advocacy purposes in the modern world cannot be overemphasized. A film documentary can be used to change or improve society in some way by bringing to light certain causes or injustices – violent practices and abuses – with the hope to help galvanize the communities to change certain attitudes and perceptions. It can also be used to encourage dialogue across different groups of people. The CTIP themed short film competition is established to leverage the power of media to inspire and motivate people, move past walls of deep-seated values and beliefs, tap into human emotions- hearts and minds, open pathways for deep and authentic conversations and impact cultural roots.
