When she decided to start an all-girls school in a remote village in Afghanistan, a few elders came to Razia Jan asking her to start a boys school instead. "Don't you know that boys are the backbone of Afghanistan?" they asked her. "Well, girls are the eyes of this country, and till they are educated you will all be blind," she retorted. Beth Murphy's What Tomorrow Brings is not just about Razia, the courageous woman who stood up against the men in her village to ensure that every girl gets an education. It is about the young women of Afghanistan, who seek refuge from the imprisonment of their own religion and the highly patriarchal society. After the Taliban's ban on girls education, the village wakes up to heart-wrenching radio bulletins about grenade and poison attacks at other schools in and around Afghanistan. Here, going to school is in itself a huge risk.

Burden Of Peace
Written & Directed by Joey Boink & Sander Wirken
Netherlands/Guatemala/Spain, 2015
One of the centerpieces of this years London Human Rights Film Festival is the domestic premiere of Burden Of Peace – a behind the scenes, four years in the making biography of activist turned Guatemala Attorney General, Claudia Paz y Paz. Following the first national democratic elections after the signing of the civil war seize-fire in 1996 the documentary begins with Paz y Paz swearing the oath of office in 2010, a period when the country is blighted by gang violence and an apathetic police force. Shadows of the countries violent past still hang heavy over the populace, most notoriously the crimes of the military regime who embarked on a programme of genocide against the indigenous population thirty years ago. Seizing land and geographical assets under the aegis of communist subversion, the disappeared and missing still bleed raw in the countries psyche.
