DEADLINE: One World Human Rights Documentary Film Festival

Every year the One World Human Rights Documentary Film Festival screens over a hundred quality documentaries from all over the world. The topics addressed range from political scandals and authoritarian regimes through sustainable development to social and environmental themes. Just as important as the film screenings are the following debates with guest filmmakers, protagonists, activists, and Czech human rights experts.

The 27th annual One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival  (“One World”) will take place March 12 – 20, 2025 in Prague and over 40 towns around the Czech Republic and in Brussels. One World is organized by People in Need, a Czech non-profit and non-governmental organization. Besides the main festival held in Prague, there is also One World in Regions, which travels to towns throughout the Czech Republic, One World in Brussels, and One World in Schools that uses films in elementary and high-school education and organizes school screenings and other outreach projects. One World has grown over the years to become the largest human rights film festival in the world. It is one of the leading cultural events in Prague and the Czech Republic.  

One World’s programme consists of four competition categories, a variety of non-competition thematic categories and Docs for Kids section. Films are selected by One World’s selection committee. When selecting films, the committee focuses equally on both human rights content and artistic quality.
