THE VISITOR is coming back to visit once more!


Just announced by Active Voice and ACLU Of Georgia! THE VISITOR is back in Atlanta for limited screenings at various college campuses around town, with the first one scheduled for this Thursday! Made possible with support from Active Voice, the ACLU of Georgia is presenting these screenings in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Each event is additionally being co-sponsored by a number of other human rights groups.

THE VISITOR, as many of you know, premiered in Georgia as the closing night film of the 2008 Atlanta Film Festival back in April. It eventually had a theatrical run and screened at limited venues this Summer with no more screenings since then in the area...UNTIL NOW! There are 4 encore opportunities to see this film on the big screen so if you missed it at our festival or this Summer, go out and support human rights while getting to see a great film!
