Docuworld Film Festival

About

Because great documentaries change the way we see the world, whether they uncover the stories that impact people's everyday lives, illuminate us with the discoveries that promise a better future or shine a light on the lives of our fellow earthlings and the world around us, we dedicate ourselves to exposing films from every corner of the earth, giving a voice to the voiceless.

The Docuworld Film Festival is the festival counterpart of The Breaking-TV Film Festival and is held annually in conjunction with The British Films Market and The Breaking-TV Film Festival.
