Human Rights Watch Film Festival: Putin's Kiss

The Human Rights Watch Film Festival will travel to San Diego for its third year, with screenings scheduled at MOPA from January 24 through January 28, 2013. Declared the ?cinematic conscience of the world? by the New York Times, the Human Rights Watch Film Festival realizes the power of film to make a difference. The festival includes six films covering a wide range of current human rights issues, from the perils that reporters face on a regular basis in Tijuana to an uplifting story of a women?s basketball team in Iraq.
