There’s nothing quite as powerful as a story. Films can broaden our perspectives and deepen our understanding; by seeing the world through someone else’s eyes, we gain insight into their experiences and challenges, fostering compassion and inspiring positive action.
So, this Refugee Week, lets watch films that put the stories and voices of people from displaced and migrant backgrounds in focus.
Here are some ideas to take part:
- Watch a film at home (alone or with friends & family)
- Organise a film screening (either at a local venue or at work!)
- Attend a film event, see What’s On near you
Our partners Other Cinemas are curating a selection of short films and a feature length film you can watch at home or screen with your community at no charge. Check back this page Mid May 2024 for the films.
Please note, if you’d like to host a screening of a film of your choosing at your workplace, arts, community space, school or elsewhere, you’ll need permissions to screen most films publicly. Guidance on how to do that is here.
