2018 Judicial Reform x Human Rights Film Festival Community Screening @ Taichung
Last edited: 2026-07-27
"If the state is a tree and the people are lush branches and leaves, human rights must be that invisible nourishment."
As Taiwan is a democratic country, "human rights" is a value that cannot be overlooked.
Human rights awareness has given rise to many legal systems. As we grow accustomed to all of this, have we also forgotten the essence of human rights?
This October, through two films, we outline different facets of human rights.
You are invited to watch and contemplate the various possibilities of human rights values together.
To foster the concept of human rights, the National Human Rights Museum is collaborating with civil society organizations to screen films. We hope that participating citizens can jointly build a human rights film festival community through wonderful viewing experiences and inspiring discussions, making human rights not only a topic of concern in our daily lives but also a value we hold dear, thereby deepening the public's understanding of and identification with human rights issues.
