Movies

What..
We show Human-Rights-Related documentaries at the filmtheatre Lumiere and try to raise some awareness for these issues.

How..
We cooperate with Amnesty International Amsterdam and their Film Festival Team. We ask them for certain movies or they send us from time to time suggestions about movies worth watching / screening.

We decide about which ones to show with the group, inform ourselves about the topic, watch them and discuss the involved issues.
