WASHINGTON (AP) — The group Human Rights Watch is hosting its first film festival in Washington this month, focusing on international trouble spots as well as bullying of gay teens in the United States. The festival will screen a new work each Wednesday between Feb. 2 and March 2 at the West End Cinema. It began last week with a screening of “Out in the Silence,” a documentary by D.C.-based filmmakers who follow a controversy that was ignited by a same-sex wedding announcement in a local U.S. newspaper. Upcoming films will feature stories from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Cambodian genocide, prison conditions in Angola and a trial in Sierra Leone.
