Amplifying Stories of Justice and Change
Creating films that tackle critical issues like climate, water, food justice, and public accountability to drive impactful action.

Human Rights Media Trust has been at the forefront of producing impactful documentaries since its inception, focusing on issues such as climate justice, water security, food sovereignty, and public accountability.
Some of our key achievements are:
1. Produced 10 short films addressing South Africa’s food crisis.
2. Released Temperature Rising, the first film in the Hotspot Climate Film Series.
3. Partnered on the State Capture and Beyond project to entrench democracy and accountability.
“We think of film as a bullet that ignites consciousness We must serve as the stone that breaks silence, or the bullet that starts the battle. Poetry is not a goal in itself. Among us poetry is a tool to transform the world.”
—Raymundo Gleyzer (though also attributed to Ernesto Ardito, co-director of the wonderful documentary 'Raymundo')
