Film: Festival Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
For 20 years now, this festival has tirelessly recited those three little words: justice for all. This year's edition features dozens of such-minded directors, each striving to turn parchment phrases into actual social progress. Anne Aghion presents My Neighbor, My Killer, an unsparing outro to her trilogy about Gacaca (Rwanda's open-air version of Nuremberg) and its tangled wake. On a different note, Havana Marking's Afghan Star documents four entrants on the eponymous show — including two women — as they vie with 2000 hopefuls for pop supremacy. Other subjects include Chevron's Amazon "Chernobyl" case in Ecuador, the politics of Russian polymath Garry Kasparov, and, as the satiric closer, the corporate-strength shenanigans of The Yes Men Fix the World.
Note:
A $40 festival pass gets you into any five film screenings.
