Political Film Society Award for Human Rights

The Political Film Society Award for Human Rights is presented annually by the Political Film Society to a film that explores the struggle for human rights in both fictional and non-fictional narratives.[1][2] This award has been handed out by the Society since 1987.[1] Depending on the number of films that qualify, as few as one film has been nominated for this award before, but as many as fourteen have been nominated in years past.

The film that first won this award was Matewan in 1987.[1] The award, as with any other Political Film Society Award, can go to a mainstream film, an independent film, or even an international film.
