“One of the defining features of a good movie is its ability to whisk us away from our everyday lives. Several selections at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, which opened this week, do just that. But the stories are far from fantasy — they’re invitations into the worlds of real, heroic people who persevere when all hope is lost.” The @nytimes must-see films at the #HRWFFNY 👌🏼 bit.ly/hrwffnytimes . . #nytimes #films #filmfestival #filmpremiere #nycity #filmcommunity #filmisnotdead #newyork #articles #review #civilrights #filmmaking #documentary #movies #movienight #cinema #journalism #humanrights #humanrightswatch #humanrightswatchfilmfestival #mustsee #nypremiere #nyc #thingstodoinnyc #femalefilmmakerfriday
