Shelter City Utrecht & Peace Brigades International invite you to the film screening of ‘By the River‘, a love story, set against the backdrop of extreme right-wing protests, reminds us that queer love and politics are never too far apart. When Kinga falls for another woman, she sets off on a journey not only to soul-searching and self-reflection, but also to social-political awareness.
Following the screening, we will discuss more in-depth the greater context of human rights and freedom in Poland. Marta Lempart, co-founder and director of the Polish Women’s Strike, will share her (professional) experiences on this issue with a specific focus on her field of work: human rights and independent rule of law. Marta will be accompanied by Agata Korycka, director and screenwriter of the film By the River (2020).
