"The quality of the films of the Human Rights competition was exceptionally high, reflecting both the excellent curation of the program by the DokuFest team and the urgency and cinematic quality of the films themselves.The films in this category addressed a range of issues - from rape to displacement from war, from the lives of refugees and resilience and the injustice in so-called justice systems to the cycles of urban violence and poverty. Their varied artistic approaches were vibrant, bold, and inspiring.The winner of the Human Rights Award at DokuFest 2019 is a film which brings us the story of children displaced because of conflict. The film invests agency in its protagonists, reimagining life in dire conditions. It avoids victimization and allows the authentic voice of childhood to emerge.The director genuinely engages her protagonists as co-creators in telling their own story. This brave film upends stereotypes to bring us a story of great joy as well as deep pain. The award goes to "TINY SOULS" by Dina Naser."
