“For our Family Human” is a rhyming poem adaptation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) crafted by Dan Cadan. Released on December 10, 2024—Human Rights Day—this poignant film was executive produced by Smiley Movement, in collaboration with Bill Shipsey, Art for Human Rights, and W Communications, to bring the spirit of human rights to life through the power of poetry.
At it’s core, it is a guide on how to love and respect your fellow human, narrated by a collective of the world’s biggest stars of music, film and entertainment, along with incredible activists.
