Summary
DocDays and Frontline Club present this screening together with a Q&A with Director Rex Bloomstein
Full description
Another collaboration with The Frontline Club sees Curzon’s documentary strand DocDays hosting the UK Premiere of Rex Bloomstein’s (KZ) latest award-winning film: An Independent Mind. The director tackles our most basic right, freedom of expression, and assesses with his sober and humane approach how far many individuals across the world have to go in order to preserve this essential right.
Director Rex Bloomstein, UK 2008, 89 mins
'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.'
Article 19 - Universal Declaration of Human Rights
"I wanted this to be as global an exercise as possible. It would have been easy to focus on certain parts of the developing world, while ignoring our own Western democracies. But we are also seeing a gradual erosion of this freedom in the West through the broadening in scope of what is deemed ‘unacceptable speech’."
Rex Bloomstein
The screening is followed by a Q&A with director Rex Bloomstein hosted by The Frontline Club (www.frontlineclub.com)
