Throughout May and June, the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival will be taking place across the country. The festival highlights cinema, music and art from across the globe that engages and informs audiences on human rights issues. It’s fascinating to watch some of these films and to see the discussions that arise afterwards; especially when there can be strong ambiguity as to whether rights are being abused, and in some cases there are questions about whose is affected. My next few film reviews are of films which will be screened as part of HRAFF.
