The Human Rights Film Festival curation team selected a total of 11 domestic and international films concerning museums, human rights, and contemporary human rights issues, planning the thematic unit "Whose Museum?". Through 6 films, the audience is invited to jointly contemplate how museum collections under different temporal, spatial, social, and political backgrounds converse with the era we inhabit, shape our perspective and identity, and re-examine the role currently played by museums in society and their influence.

Additionally, through 5 films in the "Human Rights Wide-Angle Lens" unit, the festival extends and opens up explorations into various contemporary human rights dimensions such as ethnic conflicts, state violence, and environmental justice, guiding the audience to look at human rights stories—some familiar, some unfamiliar—happening in different corners of the world, serving as a mirror for reflection and action within civil society.

The Taichung Office of the Judicial Reform Foundation was honored to participate in the 2022 Taiwan International Human Rights Film Festival. For our first session, we invited Attorney Wang Yen to share insights on the reactions and choices of contemporary Russian society in the face of political issues, as depicted in "The Peacefulist"; for our second session, we invited Attorney Lin Chia-yun to discuss the controversies sparked by South Africa's apartheid policy, as portrayed in "Good Madam".
