Bringing theory and practice together, African Cinema and Human
Rights argues that moving images have a significant role to play in
advancing the causes of justice and fairness. The contributors to
this volume identify three key ways in which film can achieve these
goals: documenting human rights abuses and thereby supporting the
claims of victims and goals of truth and reconciliation within
larger communities; legitimating, and consequently solidifying, an
expanded scope for human rights; and promoting the realization of
social and economic rights. Including the voices of African
scholars, scholar-filmmakers, African directors Jean-Marie Teno and
Gaston Kabore, and researchers whose work focuses on transnational
cinema, this volume explores overall perspectives, and differences
of perspective, pertaining to Africa, human rights, and human
rights filmmaking alongside specific case studies of individual
films and areas of human rights violations. With its
interdisciplinary scope, attention to practitioners'
self-understandings, broad perspectives, and particular case
studies, African Cinema and Human Rights is a foundational text
that offers questions, reflections, and evidence that help us to
consider film's ideal role within the context of our
ever-continuing struggle towards a more just global society.
