FLASHPOINT Human Rights Film Festival brings together eight extraordinary films from around the world that deal with human rights issues at macro as well as micro level; from global concerns to indigenous issues. These films urge us to reflect, react, revolutionalize and act as a ‘flashpoint’ to usher in change.  
The eight documentaries to be screened at FLASHPOINT Human Rights Film Festival, highlight the extraordinary work done by eight human rights defenders across the world, and their brave fight against injustice and oppression. The topics they tackle range across human rights issues and violations including human trafficking and child prostitution; international legal protection or lack thereof; atrocities under military regimes; religious fundamentalism and homophobia; political annexation/occupation and oppression; female disempowerment and honour killings; and the ravages of civil war and related war crimes. 
Screening of these films along with panel discussions and media campaigns could possibly bring about a change in perceptions and mindsets and initiate action.  FLASHPOINT – Human Rights Film Festival intends to spotlight human rights issues and make a call for the audience to act as ‘Flashpointers’

Please note that all the movies are subtitled in English.
