Document 7:

21–25 October 2009

Document International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival: a dynamic programme of events and screenings at CCA & GFT, Glasgow, 21st–25th Oct 2009.

With over 60 outstanding national and international documentaries that looked at human rights in its broadest sense—as personal stories with a global punch—films were both accessible and thought-provoking, engaging and challenging, followed by debates them with the filmmakers and invited speakers.

The films covered ground often ignored or overlooked by the mainstream media—films that show how real people are affected by the great events of our age, on their own turf, and how they deal with that—films in which people refuse to be defined simply as victims of circumstance.
