| − | The TRI Continental Film Festival was conceived in 2002 by a group of Latin American filmmakers, the Movimiento de Documentalistas, as an arts and cultural initiative that seeks to use the medium of film to explore linkages between social struggles and respect for human rights norms and practices. With the aim to showcase human rights cinema from the three continents that form part of the global South, the festival has become an annual event in Latin America, Africa, where it is hosted by Uhuru Productions, and Asia. Breakthrough, with its emphasis on popular culture and media as tools for transformation and mainstreaming human rights concerns, has been hosting and organizing the TRI Continental Film Festival’s Asian leg in India every year since 2004, to wide critical and popular acclaim. |

Most of the films screened will be either Asia or India premieres, thus bringing an otherwise inaccessible brand of cinema to this part of the world. |

It is committed to promoting a human rights culture in India that respects the equal rights of all regardless of religion, gender, class, caste, sexual orientation, age and disability. |
