Below is the much awaited programme for the first Human Rights Film Festival in Sierra Leone, starting this Saturday at British Council from 10 am. We apologise for the delay in sending out the programme but we were overwhelmed by the fantastic last minute submissions and have tried hard to incorporate as many as we can. What we lack in time, we have gained in quality!

On Monday 20 February 2012 (World Social Justice Day) we shall be hosting a special Journalists for Human Rights Screening of Shake Hands with the Devil at the British Council from 6.30 pm, followed by a discussion and refreshments.

The film is a thought provoking insight into the Rwandan genocide, the role of the media and the role of the international community. Thanks to JHR for their support.

We’re very excited to show some films from “This is My Story”.

A group of female tailors from Kono were part of this innovative participatory video workshop. Through film, the women were empowered to tell their own stories of struggle and hope. We are very happy to hear some of the women may be travelling from Kono to attend the festival!

 

 

Screening Pray the Devil Back to Hell

We’ll be showing the inspiring film – Pray the Devil Back to Hell – which chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.
