2011 Film Festival - Human Dignity
Date: 15th Jan 11
What is human dignity and where does it come from? Is it just a rhetorical device or is it the foundation of all human rights and a civilised society?
These are some of the questions which will be asked during this three-day Human Dignity Film Festival. At the end of each screening, a discussion will take place between the audience and a panel of experts in bioethics, law, philosophy and politics.
