From 17-26 March, the Human Rights Watch Film Festival returns to London for its 14th edition. This year’s compelling line-up of insightful documentary and fiction films bears witness to human rights violations and celebrates courageous individuals on both sides of the lens. Throughout the 10-day festival, many filmmakers and special guests and panellists will offer context and lively debate in post-screening sessions and panels.
