Precarious Trajectories

June 4, 2017 by nottingham

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

Having difficult conversations about migration

March 20, 2017 by nottingham

Hope Not Hate put this training on for us on 25th February. This was excellent training, covering techniques for empathetic listening and socratic questioning. 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.

This Changes Everything

February 1, 2016 by nottingham

The film This Changes Everything presents portraits of communities on the front lines of climate change, from the Alberta Tar Sands to the coast of South India.

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.

It was shown on Wednesday 27 January, 7pm, at Nottingham Mechanics, 3 North Sherwood Street, Nottingham NG1 4EZ, followed by a discussion.
This screening was jointly organised by Global Justice Nottingham and This Changes Nottingham.
