TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES

The Human Rights Film Festival provides a safe space to explore and debate national and international human rights issues. To assist this, we have organised after each screening a discussion forum examining issues raised by the films. Audience members are encouraged to listen to and join in the discussion.

Various non-governmental organisations work in the area of human rights in New Zealand, most of them members of the Human Rights Network. If you are interested in learning more about some of the issues raised in our films, or in finding out more about the work these organisations are involved in, information about them is available in the theatre foyers after each screening.
