In this episode, students delve into the complex relationship between film and human
rights. The conversation explores how films have been used as a medium to convey and
conceptualize stories related to human rights, shedding light on issues, injustices, violence, and
violations. Students examine the power of film to connect and empathize with individuals
whose human rights have been violated and to critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of
this approach.
