Nowadays despite having access to the different sources of information, people still don't know everything, all details about issues they are interested in.
I found out that there is a way that can help people to learn more about political and social issues, as well as to educate and support.
This weekend I had a chance to visit a special festival. Every year People in Need organises One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival.
This is one of the foundations of People in Need organisation. People in Need is one of the biggest non-profit organisations in Central Europe. Activities of this organisation are mostly concentrated on supporting human rights, education and information programmes.
From 3.03-12.03 this festival is held in Prague. There are documentary movies of different thematic categories. Our decision was to watch American Winter. This movie is based on true stories, shows the impact of the economic crisis on life of 8 American families. It is so sad to see how people of a former mid class turn into those ones who can't pay their bills or buy food. The main idea of the documentary is to show the weakening US welfare system and how the American Dream of these families actually is turning to American Horror.
To sum up, again it makes me think that changes should be definitely made to help people in such situations and make them a bit happier..
I advice everyone to visit the One World festival if it's possible, because I'm sure that you will find the movie that will open your mind and change your point of view on many things.
