About the event
Hold the Line is a documentary that follows several human rights defenders from South Africa, Colombia and the U.S., who have chosen to fight back against corporate destruction of their communities and the environment. The screening will be followed by a hybrid panel discussion with Carolyn Peters (one of the human rights defenders featured in the film); Andrew Bogrand (one of the film's co-directors); Thandeka Kathi, an environmental attorney based in South Africa and a graduate of the IHRL MSc programme; and John Knox and Liz Umlas, both tutors on the IHRL MSc programme. After the panel the floor will be opened to the audience for Q&A.
