Documentary Screening + Q&A.

Film running times: 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’.

The film will be preceded by a short fiction film titled Adnan (15mins).

Q&A with Director Thomas Laurance, BBC Foreign correspondent Martin Dawes & Jack Steadman from Freedom From Torture.
