Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Human rights documentaries are a powerful tool when it comes to raising the awareness for human rights violations. In a unique manner movies can draw the public attention to specific countries or regions where human rights are violated and the same time empower those whose rights are violated.
The aim of the seminar is to analyse various documentaries in the light of the rights stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which celebrates this year its 60th anniversary. As such, it is intended to introduce students to a human rights focused analyses of films, sensitize students for the rights in question and familiarize them with the legal foundation.
The films shown are by courtesy of the One World Human Rights Documentary Film festival in Prague, the biggest such festival in Europe.
