Movies that Matter On Tour brings a selection of impactful festival films to LHC. Films that move, challenge, connect and inspire change. Always with context: your local volunteers provide an introduction or follow-up discussion with guest speakers at each screening. Because film can spark change. Because change starts the moment you watch – and keep watching.
 
The fact that the story is set in the near future adds a feeling of urgency; the discussions on AI eerily resemble our realities and the overloaded judicial system appears familiar. Actress Veronica Echegui, playing Carmen Costa is the pivot of the conflict: she wrestles with her loyalty to the late top executive of the company, but also with her belief in a humane jurisdiction. Carmen’s inner process carries the film and provides an important technological issue a human face.

An Asian tourist visits the touristic highlights that the Netherlands has to offer. After losing his passport – due to biased assumptions about his identity – he ends up in a refugee asylum situated on a former luxury cruise ship in Amsterdam.
