Just Film’s Children’s Rights Programme consists of films that address children’s and young people’s lives. The protagonists of all the films are children and young people who are still discovering their inner world. Often the focus is on young people who have ended up in situations where people their age shouldn't be. When making difficult choices, they are supported by their parents, but sometimes they have to make important decisions alone. Naturally, they are happy about their big and small achievements but also feel sadness when they fail. The Children's Rights Programme is put together by the Office of the Chancellor of Justice, Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs, Ministry of Social Affairs, Social Insurance Board, Victim Support and Estonian Union for Child Welfare. The Children’s Rights Programme will run at the Just Film Festival for the 15th time.
