The Human Rights Festival will take the form of an on/offline hybrid festival under the motto “The Future is Now“. The focus of the festival is on giving a platform to people and stories that otherwise only appear on the margin of news coverage and advocating for their interests and human rights in this way. A young Australian becomes the first supermodel with trisomy 21 in MADDY THE MODEL. DISCOUNT WORKERS shows how cheap clothes are made in Pakistani sweatshops. A Kenyan marathon runner wants to help her family climb up the social ladder in RUN LIKE A GIRL. There will be symposiums and the “Climate Story Lab“ that is developing new communication concepts for the war against climate change.
All films will have English subtitles.

Venues: Acud Kino, Hackesche Höfe, Sputnik, Moviemento, Berliner Union Film Ateliers.
