Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
In recognition of the power of film to educate and
galvanize a broad constituency of concerned citizens, Human Rights
Watch decided to create the Human Rights Watch International Film
Festival. Human Rights Watch's International Film Festival has become a
leading venue for distinguished fiction, documentary and animated films
and videos with a distinctive human rights theme. Through the eyes of
committed and courageous filmmakers, we showcase the heroic stories of
activists and survivors from all over the world. The works we feature
help to put a human face on threats to individual freedom and dignity,
and celebrate the power of the human spirit and intellect to prevail.
We seek to empower everyone with the knowledge that personal commitment
can make a very real difference.
The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival High School Program The High School Program is a division of the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival. The High School Program provides human rights-related videos and educational resources to supplement existing high school and after-school program curricula. Our goal is to meet the needs of high school teachers and after-school educators experimenting with complex human rights issues and to support important and sometimes difficult conversations in ways that inspire youth dialogue and youth media production around issues of human rights.
