We will be screening the film Precarious Trajectories, followed by a discussion with the director, Simon Parker, on Monday 19th June from 7:30 to 9 at the Friends Meeting House, 25 Clarendon Street, Nottingham, NG1 5JD. All are welcome.
The film is set on location in Libya, Italy and Greece during 2015-2016, at the height of the Mediterranean migration crisis. It focuses on the perilous sea crossings that hundreds of thousands of refugees have undertaken in recent years in order to arrive at what they hope will be the safer shores of Europe through the eyes of Ruha from Syria and Ahmed from Somalia.
The film itself is 35 minutes, to be followed by a discussion led by the director, Simon Parker. It is free, but it will be helpful to know numbers, so please book tickets at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/precarioustrajectories-film-and-discussion-tickets-35013496310

We will be following it up by activities in Nottingham, including campaigning to persuade Marks and Spencers to stop advertising with the Daily Mail, which is relentlessly negative about migrants.

Interwoven with these stories is Naomi Klein’s narration, presenting the idea that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
We’re part of Global Justice Now, a democratic membership organisation which campaigns against inequality and injustice in the global economy. We want to see a world where ordinary people control the resources they need to live a decent life, rather than corporations and the super rich calling the shots.
