In the fifth episode of the Movies that Matter podcast, programme maker Julia Muller talks to activist Justyna Wydrzyńska from Abortion Dream Team, which supports women by providing information about safe home abortion options, and to director Karolina Domagalska about her impressive film and motivations. The conversation took place immediately after the screening during the Movies that Matter Festival.

In the fourth episode of the Movies that Matter Podcast, we are at Flora Filmtheater in The Hague and we discuss the documentary Verhullen, an intimate film about healing, mental health, the power of vulnerability, and artistry, set against the backdrop of The Hague's nightlife.

In the third episode of the Movies that Matter podcast, journalist Shermin Chavoushi sits down with Devika Partiman, social activist and founder of Stem op een Vrouw (Vote for a Woman), for a powerful conversation on women’s emancipation, gender apartheid, and global solidarity. Together, they reflect on the documentary Writing Hawa (now showing in Dutch cinemas) and explore how its story connects to the broader fight for equality in the Netherlands and worldwide.

In the second episode of the new Movies that Matter podcast, we focus on the documentary Yintah, which highlights the struggle of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation to protect their ancestral land from the construction of natural gas pipelines. Moderator Servaz van Berkum speaks with director Jennifer Wickham and Shaylynn Sampson, a representative of the Wet’suwet’en land defenders, about the film and the story behind it.

In the brand new Movies that Matter podcast we dive deep into the stories, people and human rights issues behind the films screened at our festival. In this first episode we share a conversation with Tommy Gulliksen, the director of the film Facing War, recorded live in The Hague at our 2025 festival. The conversation was moderated by Nicole Sprokel, former Senior Political Affairs Officer at Amnesty International Netherlands.
