HRFN supports handbook to encourage new human rights film festivals Human Rights Film Network
Recent massive upheavals in the Arab region since the first edition (in 2010) have made it imperative to seek the exchange of expression, ideas, opinions and experiences on human rights issues across the region and the world. The festival’s core theme is human dignity (Karama is Arabic for dignity). The idea for a film about Camp Jened started with lunch between James LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham. Lebrecht, a filmmaker and disability rights activist, mentioned how he’d like to see a film about his summer camp.
Movies that Matter Festival
- The environment was loose and fun, which gave kids the freedom to experiment, play, and talk about a more inclusive future.
- Congress established the National Film Preservation Board in 1988 to advise the Librarian of Congress on national preservation policies and annual selections for the National Film Registry, and the Library was given a mandate to preserve the mint record of America’s cinematic heritage.
- Having won awards for its photography and cinematography, the film wants to show viewers the impact of global warming, which turns beautiful, vibrant reefs into empty, bleached husks.
- He Named Me Malala traces the events leading up to the assassination attempt and after, including Malala’s speech to the United Nations.
- Authorities have reported more than 70 killings over the last 24 hours, including in al-Mawasi, a region that Israel designated a so-called humanitarian safe zone.
- Conversion therapy (also known as “reparative” therapy”) is any attempt to change a person’s sexuality or gender by a counselor, religious leader, or through peer support groups.
When Newnham asked for more details, the story stunned her. Their film “Crip Camp” would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award. In light of this, we echo calls by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights among others to “protect the lives of civilians caught up in the armed hostilities as required by International Law”, including Palestinian and Israeli civilians. As Human Rights Watch said, “willfully impeding relief supplies is a war crime, as is collectively punishing civilians for the actions of armed groups”. We join the chorus of voices around the world asking Hamas to immediately release all Israeli and international hostages in Gaza.
Human Rights Movies Everyone Should Watch
The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections. Our only chance of survival was luck, our only chance of escaping the rubble, the bombed houses, the ruins of the city. Nowhere in Gaza is safe, especially in the north, where I currently live.

“The Janes” inspires those unsure of what to do now that abortion rights are the most threatened they’ve been in decades. “Reversing Roe” is an excellent introduction to anyone interested in the state of abortion and choice in the United States. While it may not dig too deeply into many issues, it sets up a foundation for viewers and inspires them to more learning and action.
Festival Internacional de Cine de Derechos Humanos
“Coded Bias” digs into this question, as well as other issues surrounding artificial intelligence and human rights. When civil war reaches 12-year old Agu (Abraham Attah), Human Rights Film Network he runs. He’s caught by rebel guerrilla fighters, whose leader (Idris Elba) trains him as a child soldier.
