21 March 18:00-20:00: The Old Oak – film screening and discussion
Event organised by Oxford Human Rights Festival
Oxford Brookes University, Headington Road JHB LT, Headington, Oxford OX3 0BP
“The latest Ken Loach film brings together a teenage Syrian refugee and a north-east England pub owner to heal two traumatized communities.
In “The Old Oak,” witness the struggles of a resilient mining community facing unexpected challenges when Syrian refugees arrive in their village, sparking tensions and forging unlikely connections between the locals and newcomers, portrayed in a deeply moving drama about fragility, hope, and the power of understanding. Join us for a screening of this moving film, followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from Oxford organizations dedicated to refugee integration, as we ask the question, how can we stand in solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers in our community?”
