Documentary Screening + Q&A.

Film running time: 91mins.

When the Calais ‘Jungle’ refugee camp was ignored & condemned by authorities, ordinary people stepped in to support the refugees stranded there. This is the untold story of the volunteers and those they tried to help.

Originally arriving in the ‘Jungle’ as a volunteer carpenter, Thomas Laurance embedded himself for a year, documenting what he saw up until the camp’s eviction and destruction. Upon returning to the UK, Thomas pooled footage from other filmmakers, activists, volunteers and refugees, and wove together a collage of intimate frontline experience that offers unique access to the communities of the ‘Jungle’.

Q&A with Director Thomas Laurance and Dr Laith Al Jobouri of RAMA.
