Human rights films in London
Presented at cinemas throughout London including The Ritzy, ICA and Curzon Soho, the Human Rights Film Festival aims to bring the issues that people are struggling with all over the world right to the heart of the capital. Through the eyes of the filmmakers, you can explore the struggles of the less fortunate and see their inspiring courage.

The films aim to put a human face on threats to freedom, and also to celebrate the power of the human spirit. Simply by viewing the films you’re bringing attention to the subjects behind them.
