Reclaim Democracy: Stories From the Oslo Freedom Forum
Each year, the Human Rights Foundation brings together activists, dissidents, leading thinkers, and innovators to Oslo, Norway, home of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, to empower and embolden others in their fight for freedom and democracy. This event is called the Oslo Freedom Forum.
This year, we are sharing our message of hope and resistance directly with you, in a special four-part series by the Human Rights Foundation, produced by FP Studios.
