Human Rights Watch International Film Festival

For those of you who can get to London in the next couple of weeks, Human Rights Watch is holding the 14th edition of their International Film Festival, from March 17-26 in London. There are 28 films, from 20 countries, including the Congo, Iran, Tibet, Cambodia and Palestine. The event will also showcase Human Rights Watch’s Adobe Youth Producing Change program.

This year, there are three distinct themes: Closed Societies: Iran and North Korea, Accountability and Justice and Development and Migration.

All of the films look fascinating, and there are three films specifically about free expression, focusing on Iran and North Korea. To learn more about the films and to download the program, go to: http://www.hrw.org/en/iff/london.
