The Human Rights Watch Film Festival is the world's leading showcase for distinguished drama, documentary, and animated films that feature human rights themes. Each year highlights from our festivals are presented in our Traveling Film Festival. We see these films as capable of creating forums for discussion in communities across the country. They enable people to see human rights issues and their impact through the art of film, a medium that has the power to share individual stories of suffering and of strength across borders of all kinds.

The list of titles for the 2002-2003 traveling festival season is posted below and the full traveling festival web site will be posted in August 2002.
