Cities of Rights - 75th UDHR Anniversary

What is more universal than each and every human being on the planet?
Representing what is universal or a right is no small task. Yet, every human being has a voice and should have a voice in what human rights mean. From a document that seems to sit somewhere high up above people, we went down to where they live: cities. How do people understand, enact, and live the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? 
If you are in Utrecht, take a stroll in the city, and you might stumble upon one of these posters. In collaboration with the City of Utrecht and the University of Utrecht, THF produced film portraits linked to each article of the UDHR for the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

THF collaborated with the OHCHR in 2018 to produce a series of 1-minute illustrations of the UDHR for its 70TH Anniversary. Visit the UDHR@70 film section http://www.trueheroesfilms.com/30-articles-30-stories/

THF's extensive experience and expertise are condensed into an easy and accessible toolkit (available on our website) to create workshops about filmmaking and human rights. It's there to encourage youth involvement in human rights issues. The workshop brings filmmaking to school students as a communication tool to promote and protect human rights defenders. You can read about how the programme was implemented in the public schools in Geneva, Switzerland here and here.
For 40 years, HURIDOCS has aimed to strengthen the documentation capacity of HRDs. Hans Thoolen was one of the network's founders 40 years ago and - convinced that visual information is as important - has worked hard to set up True Heroes Films. Read on...
