Traveling Festival
The Human Rights Watch Film Festival bears witness to human rights violations and creates a forum for courageous individuals on both sides of the lens to empower audiences with the knowledge that personal commitment can make a difference. The film festival brings to life human rights abuses through storytelling in a way that challenges each individual to empathize and demand justice for all people.
Each year highlights from our London and New York festivals are presented in our Traveling Film Festival. The film lineup for the 2013-2014 HRW Traveling Festival will be announced in early July 2013.
Please note that the traveling festival is only available in the US and Canada at this time.
