Please join us for a screening of Michael Winterbottom’s acclaimed film
In This World (2002) followed by a discussion on the politics of
migration, globalisation and the “War on Terror.”


Movie Synopsis:
In This World follows Afghan refugees Jamal and Enayatullah as they
travel overland to London, passing through Iran, Turkey, Italy and
France. Their journey is a distillation of the experiences of a
multitude of real life asylum seekers and migrants - courageous and
resourceful people seeking a better life, but whose stories so often end
in tragedy. Shot on digital video, In This World is styled as a
fictional documentary of hidden histories. Featuring stunning
performances by a cast of real-life actors navigating a largely
improvised script, the film points to new possibilities for guerrilla
filmmaking amidst the new world disorder.

In Pashtu and Farsi with English subtitles. 88 min.
