Stamford and Rutland Amnesty International's Festival of Social Justice opens tomorrow with TRUTH to POWER, a multimedia photography exhibition led by award winning photographer and journalist Eddie Botsio.

It celebrates the reporters, producers and editors who have covered some of the most challenging stories of the past year including Victoria Derbyshire (BBC), Jess Brammar (HuffPost UK), Haroon Siddique (The Guardian) Eleanor Mills (former Editorial Director, Sunday Times and Chair of Women in Journalism) to name a few.

Stamford and Rutland Amnesty member and festival co-organiser, Harriet Wills said: "We are honoured to have Eddie's TRUTH to POWER Exhibition opening our Festival of Social Justice. We have reached out to many collaborators both locally and further afield and have some amazing events coming up. I encourage everyone to look at what's on, sign up and enjoy the festival!"
