As a member of the "UNHCR Refugee Film Festival-School Partners", for the 13th UNHCR Refugee Film Festival, Soka University will be showing "I am Rohingya: A Genocide in Four Acts". This will be the first time it will be shown in Japan.

UNHCR Film Festival actively holds events to spread the understanding of refugees through films and collaborates with universities and other educational institutions as school partners to develop educational activities.
In response to the refugee issues, UNHCR is implementing "Goal 2: Zero Hunger", "Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being", "Goal 4: Quality Education" out of 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). With the hope that through this movie each person can confront the refugee issues, which in turn will lead to moving closer to achieving the SDGs, it was decided to hold the screening at Soka University.
The screening will be held at Global Square's Discovery Hall, as a joint collaboration with the university's student organization, "ASPIRE SOKA," that promotes the peace movement established by the United Nations.

The representative of ASPIRE SOKA Ms. Yuna Koga (Faculty of Law 4th year) said, "At the Film Festival this year, we will be introducing "Rohingya", the most persecuted people in the world. This problem occurring in various places, including Asia, is not a problem far from us. We will put all of our efforts to prepare for this event so that we can provide an opportunity for people to think deeply about how they can help with refugee problems."
