Our Vision
At the Human Rights Screened Foundation, we envision a world where the power of film and visual storytelling is harnessed to confront inequality and expose human rights violations affecting marginalized communities every day.
We believe in using the audio-visual medium not only to amplify unheard voices and spotlight injustice, but also as a springboard for empowerment. Through our comprehensive skills development programme—which includes entrepreneurship, essential life skills, and an intensive aftercare programme with job readiness training and placement support—we aim to turn victims into victors.
Because every story matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every human right must be defended.
Our Mission
We use the power of film to spotlight social injustices and inspire lasting change - 365 days a year, 24/7.
We are committed to:
- Hosting inclusive film festivals that foster civic engagement and challenge injustice
- Providing accessible Film & TV training focused on creative expression, future technologies, and practical industry skills ending with job placements
- Job placements, internships, and support for further development in the industry
- Establishing Human Rights Awards to honour individuals, organisations, and government departments who use their roles to advance human rights, inspiring others through visible, public recognition
- Implementing awareness and prevention campaigns that connect victims to a reliable network of government and civil society organisations offering victim-centred support, rights education, and socio-economic upliftment opportunities
Our Values
Integrity: We operate with transparency, honesty, and ethical principles in everything we do. Our commitment to truth drives our storytelling and community engagement.
Compassion: We approach every story and every community with empathy, understanding, and genuine care for human dignity and rights.
Impact: We measure our success not just in films made, but in lives changed, communities empowered, and social progress achieved by giving 2nd chances to deserving individual.
