After the film, there will be a snack, a discussion and a panel. There will be an interesting discussion about cinema, human rights, the political situation and how these themes are reflected in the municipal and regional elections. Discussion will be conducted in Finnish.

The movie is in English, but it has Finnish subtitles. The discussion afterwards will be held in Finnish.
