Human Rights Watch Film Festival
High School Human Rights Program in the Press



Human Rights Film Watch
by Helga Pérez

All of teaching and learning is about the development of the human spirit. If education is not relevant to young people, they will not engage. What was so powerful about the film we used is that it spoke both to the human spirit and to the specific subjects we were studying. It is rare that you find both. — participating teacher, Human Rights Watch Film Festival High School Program Visit this link to read the article www.nyfa.org/fyi/chlkbrd_spring2002_pg1.htm
