16th Human Rights Watch Film Festival at The Ritzy
We are delighted to welcome back the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in its 16th year.
Human Rights Watch is one of the world’s leading independent organisations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. Its Film Festival brings to life human rights abuses through storytelling in a way that challenges each individual to empathise and demand justice for all.
The Festival opens at The Ritzy on Friday 23 March. It will present a programme of thought-provoking films and documentaries organised around four themes: development, environment and the global economy; migrants’ rights and racism; personal testimony and witnessing; and women’s rights. Many of the films will be followed by Q&A sessions with filmmakers, experts and those featured in the films. The closing night film and reception will be on Friday 30 March with Nadine Labaki’s drama WHERE DO WE GO NOW?. This is the heartwarming tale of a group of women determined to protect their isolated community from divisive forces that threaten to destroy it from within. The screening will be followed by a discussion with director.
