CAMMIGRES Forum hosts: 'Leave to Remain' film screening & panel discussion with Director

Location: Yusuf Hamied Theatre, Christ’s College, Cambridge
Film: 18.30 – 20.00
Panel discussion: 20.00 – 21.00

Please join us for the Cambridge screening of the award-winning feature film 'Leave to remain' (2013), followed by a panel discussion about young refugees and asylum seekers in Britain.

'Leave to Remain' (2013) is set in London and explores the journey of an unaccompanied Afghan teenager, who is in the process of having his refugee status decided in Britain. The low-budget film is based on real-life stories and features a cast of non-professional young actors, all from migrant backgrounds.

For the post-screening discussion, we will be joined by an exciting panel. Confirmed panellists include:

  • Professor Madeleine Arnot (Faculty of Education/ Co-Founder Cambridge Migration Research Network)
  • Rita Chadha (Chief Executive, RAMFEL - Refugee and Migrant Council of Essex and London)
  • Ebrahim Esmail (young actor, refugee, British Red Cross and Refugee Council volunteer)
  • Bruce Goodison (BAFTA award winning Director).

Free and open to all.
