Dear All,
The Oxford Children’s Rights Network would like to warmly invite you to a screening of the film, "Which Way Home”
on Thursday, November 5th in the JCR Theatre, at St. Catherine’s College, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
The film follows several unaccompanied child migrants as they journey through Mexico en route to the U.S. on a freight train they call 'The Beast.' Director Rebecca Cammisa (Sister Helen) tracks the stories of children like Olga and Freddy, nine-year-old Hondurans who are desperately trying to reach their families in Minnesota, and Jose, a ten-year-old El Salvadoran who has been abandoned by smugglers and ends up alone in a Mexican detention center, and focuses on Kevin, a canny, streetwise 14-year-old Honduran, whose mother hopes that he will reach New York City and send money back to his family.
The film will be followed by a short discussion that builds on the theme we first visited in Week 2, Children in Migration, with tea and biscuits provided.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday,
There are also film screenings, on the topic "Girls' Rights: Access to Aspiration", on November 19th (film: Sepideh) and December 3rd (film: Wadjda).
