About

The sixth annual Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, co-presented with Cinematheque Ontario, opens on February 24.

This year’s festival, continuing through March 5, brings together eight powerful films that address major global issues and show personal struggles against difficult odds.

“This is an exceptional lineup of films that from diverse angles reaffirm the importance of historical memory and recognize the enormous courage of people fighting for justice around the world,” said Helga Stephenson, chairperson of the festival. “The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival continues to be a vital meeting place for Torontonians with an interest in and commitment to human rights.”
