REFUGEE WEEK FILMS

As part of National Refugee week activities that are being organised by Bristol City Council in partnershipo with Refugee Action, Community at Heart, STAR and Tribe of Doris, the Cube proudly presents two films that portray the plight of refugees and asylum seekers in Britain.

(Tues 15th / 7pm / £4/3)
DIRTY PRETTY THINGS plus MY LIFE AS A REFUGEE

Lucy Nabijou, the director, will introduce this film and answer questions before the main feature which will start at 8.30pm.

Stephen Frears (My Beatiful Laundrette) collects a multinational cast to play out the story of people who illegally enter Britain in search of a better life and to leave troubles that are occuring in their homelands. Audrey Tatou (Amelie) plays a Turkish migrant who is best friends with a Nigerian migrant (Chiwetel Ejiofor). These actors, under Frear's stunning direction present an unsentimental and riveting story set in a seedy
London hotel which harbours a dark secret. The flashes of humour
punctuate the unrelenting assault on the nameless human beings that find themselves in the dangerous underbelly of a society in denial.
