First Guyana-Brazil human rights film festival underway

Discrimination, systemic inequality and injustice are the themes being explored in the first ever Guyana-Brazil Human Rights Film Festival, which opened on Thursday at the Brazil-Guyana Cultural Centre.

Hosted by the Guyana Equality Forum (GEF)—a network of local civil groups working together for equal rights and justice for Guyanese—together with the Embassy of Brazil, and slated to run for five nights, the festival will place focus on a different human rights issue every night. The festival will continue on Monday and end on Wednesday, October 4.
