Movies that Matter is a film festival based in the Hague.
Recently, they celebrated their film festival from the 24th of March until the 1st of April.

If you missed their film festival: Fear not! You can attend the screening of the film “Theatre of Violence” on the 23rd of April FOR FREE in KRITERION!

Theatre of Violence tells the story of “sharp and flamboyant lawyer Krispus Ayena. He is leading the way in a fascinating, complex examination of the essence of justice. Ayena defends Dominic Ongwen before the International Criminal Court. Ongwen is a former commander in Joseph Kony’s Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army. But Ongwen was himself kidnapped and brainwashed by that same army when he was only 9, and so the question arises: is he a perpetrator or a victim after all?

The exact time is still to be finalized, but will be updated soon.
