In celebration of the Refugee Festival Scotland join Global Justice Glasgow and Take One Action Film Festival for a special screening of three films, followed by an audience conversation, exploring how we can support refugees, asylum seekers and migrants locally and globally.

The evening’s films are:
Making it Home – a film created from dialogue between refugee women in Maryhill, Glasgow and local women in Pilton, Edinburgh.

At Home in the World – a moving portrait of five children during their first year at a Red Cross Refugee School in Denmark.

Refugee Blues – an intimate portrayal of a day in the former camp at Calais, set to the verses of W.H. Auden’s 1939 poem of the same name.

Join us after the film for a conversation with representatives from Scottish Refugee Council, Refugee Survival Trust and Global Justice Glasgow.
