It’s a wrap! This past Friday the 2012 Human Rights Watch Film Festival came to an end with the screening of Director Jon Shenk’s The Island President. The film screened after a fantastic Closing Night Reception hosted by the Human Rights Watch Toronto Network held at The Richmond.
Human Rights Watch would like to thank all our sponsors, volunteers and staff for all their hardwork and support in making this year’s Film Festival a success.
