Bahrain Human Rights International Film Festival (BHRIFF) is a nonprofit cultural event dedicated to the introduction and promotion of films related to human rights... the festival shows a wide range of features, documentaries and short films selected from around the world to facilitate a constructive global discourse on the most important human rights issues...
BHRIFF is organized every year from 1st to 4th May in celebration of Labour Day and the International Day for Press Freedom...
schedule can be found here...
disappointingly the BHRIFF site does not provide any information on the films... below is all i could find on the internets... some films i didn't find any information on at all or i couldn't tell which movie it was from the available options...
UPDATE: (saturday may 2, 2009)
i was able to get more information on the films from the booklet that was handed out at the event... i've included the new info below...

Hey guys...speaking of documentaries...has any of you seen the one called “The Cost of a Coke"? I would love to "Borrow" it from the internet and see it. but of course, being the experts that you are… I will need to hear your opinions about it first.
