-------- REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS AT LEEDS FILM FESTIVAL
------------------
Dear All,
The Leeds Press Gang is a group of volunteers working together to promote
positive messages about refugees and asylum seekers. We have teamed up with
the Leeds International Film Festival this year in organising 2 events during
the festival, which we would like to invite you all to come along to.
The first is on Sunday November 6th at 6.45 in the Leeds Town Hall, Albert
Room. This event is a feature documentary called ‘Sierra Leonne's Refugee
Allstars', following the story of a band formed by some refugees from Sierra
Leonne, living in Guinea. Entrance is £4/£5.
The second event is an evening of short films and discussion entitled ‘Do
we do Enough?', on Wednesday 9th November at 6.45 in the Leeds Town Hall,
Albert Room where we will be debating our roles in supporting asylum seekers
in Leeds. The two short films showing will be ‘Sanctuary' and '1000 voices'
and the discussion will be kick-started by two refugees recounting there own
stories about their experiences of seeking asylum in the UK. Entrance is
FREE!
We look forward to seeing some of you there!
Press Gang
