While Emma Watson did not attend the world premiere of
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Thursday (and yes there were rumors she might have shown up), the Harry Potter actress did head to the 2016 DOC NYC premiere of the documentary '
City of Joy' at the SVA Theater in New York City this Friday evening.
A few photos of Emma on the red carpet with actress Thandie Newton and some of the subjects of the documentary, including Christine Schuler Deschryver, Eve Ensler, and Jane Mukunila, can be found here.

Quote:
The City of Joy is a community for women survivors of violence in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Opened in 2011, the project was founded by Eve Ensler, Dr. Denis Mukwege, Christine Schuler Deschryver and supported by V-Day. The film chronicles the institution’s first class of resilient women as they process their trauma and create a revolutionary community. We see survivors transformed into leaders and sorrow turned into hope. Each day at City of Joy is a lesson.
