Opin Yu Yi 2012 Programme
Posted: February 16, 2012 in About, Films, Media, Music, Transitional Justice, Videos, Womens RightsBelow 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!
