** Engage Media’s Writeup of the 2017 IFF **
“As one of the few global, civil society focused events, the festival
was a refreshing change from the often highly branded multi-stake holder
conferences. Here, amongst allies, the conversation went much deeper
across a range of topics from digital security, free software, free
media, journalist safety, policy issues and more…”

We hope you’ll enjoy EngageMedia’s thoughts on the IFF as much as we
did! Read more at:
