From the Frontline of the Refugee Crisis in Lesbos
December 15, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
‘From the Frontline of the Refugee Crisis in Lesbos’ is a film screening and discussion event taking place on Tuesday 15 December at 5:30pm. The film, ‘Stateless in Lesbos’ is a short (25min) documentary shot this November on one of the islands considered the front-line of the refugee crisis. Focusing on the solidarity of ordinary people in the face of government-led racism and incompetence, the film shows how the working class in Greece are defying the state and showing their solidarity with refugees.
The screening will be introduced by Penny Travlou, from the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University of Edinburgh. The director, Guy Smallman from Reelnews, will be travelling to Scotland fresh from the press film screening and will be on hand to give a Q&A on his first-hand experiences.
This event is free to attend, and is co-hosted by the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh and Counterinfo Lab.
