Nairobi — The seventh edition of the Human Rights Watch Nairobi Film Festival will showcase five films at various locations in the city between October 15 and 18, 2019. Each film will be followed by a panel discussion about human rights activism.

The festival's films document struggles faced by activists in the region and elsewhere on the continent, who are pushing back against abuses by states and corporations, often at a personal cost. The festival aims to generate discussions around movement-building and government's responsibility to protect human rights defenders.
