Every year Breakthrough has endeavoured towards expanding the visual platform for human rights issues from the global South. Breakthrough is an innovative, high-impact international human rights organisation, using the power of popular culture, media, and education to transform public attitudes and promote values of equality, justice, and dignity around the world.

The Tri Continental Film Festival (TCFF) is an annual event in the global south that promotes human rights and democratic principles through documentary and short feature-length films. Inaugurated in Argentina in September 2002, the festival travelled to South Africa in 2003, and was hosted in India by Breakthrough in 2004. The festival has found support in all circles including those of the political kind.
