share
Encircling the topic of human rights, Watch Docs (a play on the word "watchdogs," with reference to watchdog organizations and NGOs) is touted as one of the oldest and largest human rights film festivals in the world, annually drawing thousands of viewers on a national (and international) level. The featured documentaries not only tell stories of singular acts of heroism, but also unearth massive actions for human rights. By portraying people’s actual lives, their struggles while confronting violations, films give human rights authentic substance and a human face. These films encourage the viewers to see and feel the human rights as something important and shared by all of us. All film screenings are accompanied by numerous meetings and workshops; in addition, every film block will be summarised by a series of questions and a dose of discussion. The screenings will be displayed in Kino Muranów , U-jazdowski kino and Kinoteka
