Human Rights Watch Film Festival

The Barbican hosts another hard-hitting, ripped-from-the-news selection of ten films from Human Rights Watch. The NGO fights back against human rights abuses around the world and its London festival’s line-up reflects that mission by bringing vital but untold stories to the screen. Child soldiers, Ukraine and the oppression of women in Iran all feature strongly this year. Expect some gripping Q&As with filmmakers who’ve been out there and seen a lot of the tough stuff for themselves.
