Resilience of the Human Spirit Comes to Life at the
15th Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival
TORONTO – The 15th annual Human Rights Watch Film Festival, co-presented by TIFF® and Human Rights Watch, will feature a diverse lineup celebrating the power individuals can hold in complex social and political situations. The festival is an opportunity for both organizations to come together to recognize the essential role that compelling storytelling plays in helping shine a light on important issues, from citizen journalism in West Africa to the difference spoken-word can make in the Arab world. Of the seven exceptional features that make up this year’s edition, five were directed by women.
The film festival will run from April 18 to 25, 2018 at TIFF Bell Lightbox. Most screenings will be accompanied by exciting discussions with filmmakers, Human Rights Watch researchers, or subject-matter experts to spark conversations around the challenging issues featured in the films.
Tickets for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival go on sale February 28 for TIFF Members and March 7 for the public.
