<p>Encircling the topic of human rights, the Festival “WATCH DOCS. Human Rights in Film” is one of the most interesting film celebrations in the world. On the Poznan opening of the Festival, attendees can see films from three thematic blocks. The first, pertaining to the perspectives of women, outlines both historical and contemporary challenges of women across the world, in cultural, societal, and political contexts. The common ground of the seemingly-unrelated narratives come together in the girls’ joint journey to the securing of individual, fundamental rights. The second block of films will relate the stories of migrants, who we know struggle very much in the context of human rights. To protect themselves and their family, the characters presented will show incredible determination and solidarity, in admittedly troubled times. Finally, “Strategies of Defiance” is the name of the third block. It will relate to the many narratives of citizen-led defiance. The presented documentaries will present not only singular acts of heroism, but also massive actions against of human rights. The screening of all films will be accompanied by numerous meetings and workshops. In addition, every film block will be summarized by a series of questions and a dose of discussion.</p>
