    Global Migration Lockdown Film Club

    The organisation I work for runs an annual film festival - the Global Migration Film Festival. It focuses on positive migration stories, and the need to challenge the constant stream of xenophobia, misinformation, prejudice and fear that is rampant worldwide. Now, because of the continuing COVID-19 crisis, IOM have made all films available online - and created the Lockdown Film Club, to educate, entertain and inform staff (and non-staff). I have registered with my non-work email address and it works, so please register and watch this year's entries. The first film available is:

    Aneni, about a migrant from Zimbabwe who, works as an after-hours cleaner at a dance school in the UK, making just enough money to survive and not enough to care for her little girl. She is invisible, ignored -- and stronger than you could imagine. It's a 16-minute short, so won't take up too much of your time. If you click the link to watch, you will be able to register and access the film library.
