We are proud to announce that Where Heaven Meets Hell has received a Special Mention Award from the Václav Havel Jury for a documentary that has made an exceptional contribution to the defense of human rights at the One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival. A special thank you to the jurors and to Karen Davies from UNRIC who stated: “Not only we were impressed by the imagery in the film but also by the dignity and positive attitudes of the miners despite working in the most appalling conditions. The jury hopes by giving a special mention to this film we can draw attention to labor conditions that contravene human rights worldwide.”
