The 12th Active Vista Human Rights Festival kicks off with a compelling screening of The Editorial Office by Roman Bondarchuk. This powerful film dives deep into the crucial role the media plays in shaping public opinion and protecting democracy. It confronts the perils of disinformation, the corrosive effects of corruption on institutions, and the vulnerability of human rights under oppressive regimes. With its urgent and timely message, the film prompts us to consider the importance of remaining vigilant in defending our freedoms.

The event also features the unveiling of Silingan Coffee’s new coffee on-the-road van, in collaboration with DAKILA, adorned with a theme of “courageous hope”—a hope grounded in bravery and the reimagining of our society.
