Human Rights Watch Film Festival: Bad Press Film Screening + Q&A
February 3 @ 1:00 pm - February 3 @ 3:00 pm
Saturday, February 3
1:00–3:00 p.m.
See the San Diego film premiere of Bad Press, the Sundance award winner for “U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award: Freedom of Expression.”
Without a free press how can our communities make decisions and uncover the truth? Bad Press follows one news outlet’s fight to survive. When the elected leaders of the Muscogee Nation, the fourth largest Native American tribe, suddenly curb press freedom and give officials authority to edit all news stories before they reach the public, a rogue reporter fights to expose her government’s corruption in a historic battle that will have ramifications for all of Indian Country.
The Human Rights Watch Film Festival features critically acclaimed films on topics including the rights of LGBTQ+ teens, family separation, refugee rights, disability rights, and the right to a free independent press in Native American tribes. Each in-person screening will be accompanied by a Q&A with filmmakers and human rights leaders.
