VI edición del Festival Encuentro de Cultura y Derechos Humanos. Ciclo Cine y Derechos Humanos

Migrations, humanitarian crises in different parts of the world, the fight against homophobia and racism are the focus of the VI edition of the Festival Encuentro de Cultura y Derechos Humanos, which will be held in the months of May and June in Tenerife, La Palma, Gran Canaria and La Gomera. Three screenings will take place at the Casa de Cultura Pedro García Cabrera, in Vallehermoso, La Gomera, related to gender violence and migration, both current and that of the Canary Islanders decades ago. The sessions will take place at 19:30 and admission is free until full capacity is reached. Thus, while the film Solo una vez, directed by Guillermo Ríos, deals with the detection of abuse and harassment in a couple, Samba, un nombre borrado, allows us to identify one of the people who died on the beach of El Tarajal, in Ceuta, in 2014, when a group of migrants tried to cross the Spanish border. Finally, Tras la estela del Valbanera, a historical documentary by director Federico José Pérez, deals with the shipwreck of this boat, full of migrants from the Canary Islands on their way to Havana, who did not survive.
