Stories of Freedom: Voices for Democracy and Human Rights

The series brings some of the most pressing questions of our time to the big screen: What does freedom mean — and who is fighting for it around the world today? Stories of Freedom is organised by Starlounge in partnership with Berlin WorX, supported by Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg, Heinrich Böll Stiftung and Bezirksamt Pankow and curated by The Good Media Network/Doxumentale in partnership with One World International Human Rights Film Festival. It is part of the programme of Berlin Freedom Week and Straße der Demokratie.
