As part of One World Media’s 35th Anniversary and on Awards Day, OWM will be screening award nominated short films at Bertha DocHouse.

International topics are brought to life in this inspiring programme of global short documentaries directed by incredible filmmakers.

We travel to the protests on the streets of Khartoum, then to a tribe in India who worship a leopard and on to the courageous anti-war campaigners tracking down the Moscow police officer who abused them. These are stories of bravery, innovation and revolution.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
