March 12-20: One World Film Festival Returns to Prague

The One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, organized by People in Need, is returning for its 27th edition in 2025.

Recognized as the largest festival of its kind, One World spans 57 cities across the Czech Republic from March 12 to April 27, 2025, with its Prague segment running from March 12–20.

One World presents over 100 documentary films tackling political, social, environmental, and cultural issues. The festival has grown into a major cultural event in the Czech Republic, drawing more than 100,000 visitors annually.

Beyond screenings, One World fosters an open forum for discussion, hosting debates, Q&A sessions, and panels with filmmakers, activists, policymakers, and media representatives. Special screenings are also arranged for elementary and high school students.

The competition lineup includes four main categories:

  • International Competition (Best Film, Best Director Awards)
  • Right to Know Competition (highlighting investigative films)
  • Immersive Films Competition (exploring new media formats)
  • Czech Competition (showcasing national productions)

In addition to the competitive sections, thematic programs will feature films under categories such as The Slovak Journey, Family Webs, Female Gaze, Male Beings, Ecosystems, and Searching for Freedom.

2025 Highlights: Must-See Films

This year’s lineup includes films such as:

  • “My Memory is Full of Ghosts” – A deeply personal exploration of trauma and memory, this film follows individuals whose lives have been shaped by past conflicts and personal tragedies. Through intimate storytelling and archival footage, it sheds light on how memories influence identity and healing.
  • “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” – A gripping political documentary that follows a lesser-known Russian activist who dares to challenge Vladimir Putin’s regime. The film provides a behind-the-scenes look at the dangers of dissent in modern Russia, featuring exclusive interviews with opposition figures and footage from protests and secret meetings.
  • “The White House Effect” – An investigative documentary that delves into climate change policies and their global consequences. It traces how decisions made in Washington ripple across the world, impacting vulnerable communities facing extreme weather, displacement, and environmental collapse.
  • “Zurawski v. Texas” – A courtroom drama-documentary chronicling the legal battle over reproductive rights in Texas. Through firsthand accounts and legal analysis, it examines the restrictive abortion laws and their impact on women and healthcare providers fighting for autonomy.
  • “Cyborg Generation” – A visually stunning and thought-provoking film that explores the rise of transhumanism and the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI and human enhancement. Featuring interviews with scientists, philosophers, and individuals already modifying their bodies with technology, the film raises pressing questions about the future of humanity.
