Floribert Chebeya was a human rights activist who had survived Mobutu Sese Seko's dictatorship and the subsequent civil war. On 2 June 2010, his body was found in a car near the capital, Kinshasa. The police quickly painted a scenario that made Chebeya the routine victim of a crime with sexual connotations. However, this version of the events broke down after an investigation in which the police were implicated. The government agreed to bring some of the highest police officials to justice in a military court, handing out stiff sentences to those found guilty and awarding compensation to the victims.

Prix Sakharov 2014, le Docteur Mukwege est internationalement connu comme l’homme qui répare ces milliers de femmes violées durant 20 ans de conflits à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, un pays parmi les plus pauvres de la planète, mais au sous-sol extrêmement riche. Sa lutte incessante pour mettre fin à ces atrocités et dénoncer l’impunité dont jouissent les coupables, dérange. Fin 2012, le Docteur est l’objet d'une nouvelle tentative d’assassinat, à laquelle il échappe miraculeusement. Menacé de mort, ce médecin au destin exceptionnel vit dorénavant cloîtré dans son hôpital de Bukavu, sous la protection des Casques bleus des Nations unies. Mais il n’est plus seul à lutter. A ses côtés, ces femmes auxquelles il a rendu leur intégrité physique et leur dignité, devenues grâce à lui de véritables activistes de la paix, assoiffées de justice.

Alongside the southernmost urban centre in Africa, separating city from ocean, lays a very special strip of land. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Signal Hill on the other, the Sea Point Promenade – and the public swimming pools in its centre – forms a space unlike any in Cape Town. Once a bastion of Apartheid exclusivity, it is nowadays unique in its apparently easy mix of age, race, gender, religion, wealth status and sexual orientation. Somehow this space has become one where all South Africans feel they have a right to exist, and where the possibility of happiness in a divided world doesn't seem unfeasible. But what is the reality of those coming here? How do people see their past, their present in this space and their future in this country?

Jordana Horn in The Jewish Daily Forward states that: Budrus [is] a documentary by Julia Bacha that examines one West Bank town’s reaction to Israel’s construction of the security barrier. The town, with a population of 1,500, was set to be divided and encircled by the barrier, losing 300 acres of land and 3,000 olive trees. These trees were not only critical for economic survival but also sacred to the town’s intergenerational history. The film tells the story of Ayed Morrar, a Palestinian whose work for Fatah had led to five detentions in Israeli jails, but whose momentous strategic decision that the barrier would be best opposed by nonviolent resistance had far-reaching ramifications.

In 1939, the end of the Spanish Civil War forced thousands of men, women and children to flee Francoist Spain. The French administration in Algeria opened refugee camps to take them in. Seventy years later, a young Algerian investigates the past. Despite the absence of archives and files, the traces of these camps have survived the collective oblivion and still appear in current Algeria.
