Human Rights First x Humanitas Media

In May 2026, Humanitas Media and Human Rights First hosted a gathering in Minnesota that brought together advocates, educators, and human rights leaders for an evening of conversation and connection. Attendees included representatives from Human Rights First, The Advocates for Human Rights, Center for Victims of Torture, World Savvy, Cristosal, the University of Minnesota Law School’s Center for Human Rights, and other organizations. The gathering created space for relationship-building and the exchange of ideas among individuals and organizations working across human rights, education, and related fields.

Golden Thread Productions x Humanitas Media

Humanitas Media is proud to partner with Golden Thread Productions, the first American theater company devoted to focusing on Middle East issues, on a theatrical adaptation of Through the Gates of Hell by Joshua Colangelo-Bryan. Written by acclaimed playwright Abhishek Majumdar, this new play is inspired by the real-life story of a man imprisoned for eight years at Guantánamo Bay and draws from the detailed accounts documented in the book.
