Io Capitano Film Screening
We will be screening Matteo Garrone’s Oscar nominated IO CAPITANO on the 17th June at Oasis.
Dreaming for a brighter future, two Senegalese teenagers embark on a journey from West Africa to Italy. However, between their dreams and reality lies a labyrinth of checkpoints, the Sahara Desert, and the vast waters of the Mediterranean. An unflinching look at the dark and brutal reality of refugee exploitation, the film gives a much needed human voice to the desperate journeys people make to seek sanctuary and a better life.
17th June, 7pm
Doors open at 6pm and food and drink will be available.
Tickets: £3, £5
Tickets are priced on a sliding scale. Please for you to pay what you can.
Enjoy some street food straight from our food truck and join us for a one-time screening of this brilliant film. All profits will go towards our ongoing work welcoming people seeking sanctuary through our doors.
