Rural Media Network Pakistan (RMNP) has shared the International Press Institute (IPI) documentary “Defending the Future of Free Media”, which presents powerful stories of journalists and media organizations working to defend independent journalism under difficult circumstances.
The documentary, first released on World Press Freedom Day 2026, features experiences from Ukraine, Turkey, the Philippines, Mexico, the United States, Gaza, and Hungary, illustrating the challenges faced by journalists and the importance of protecting media freedom across the world.
IPI has also announced a special public screening of the documentary during the Gabo Festival on July 26 (11:00–12:00). The screening will be followed by a discussion with journalists from the Philippines, Nepal, and Ecuador, moderated by one of the documentary’s co-directors.
