Human Rights Watch Film Festival

The Barbican and Rich Mix cinemas will be once again taken over by this remarkable festival for a week in March, with a programme full of moving, insightful documentaries and feature films. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers, activists and human rights experts. Opening night will show ‘Mediha’, a film by the award-winning Hasan Oswald which documents a Yazidi girl’s return from ISIS captivity. ‘Summer Qamp’, the funny, uplifting work of non-binary filmmaker Jen Marovitz, will close the festival. You can read more about the full programme on the festival’s website.
