I realised over the weekend that I've probably watched more than 300 films over 28 years as part of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and I have learnt so much and inspired by so many. It's incredibly sad to think this was last festival.

Tonight is the last HRW’s film festival screening in London. I attended my first panel in 2021 for a movie called “Skateistan”, about teenage girls skating in Kabul. It's a sad day to see the festival closing. We will miss the festival and the incredible team. Human Rights Watch Film Festival
