Join us for a free screening and post-film discussion of the documentary, Hostile, about the struggles that refugees and asylum seekers face in the UK due to the Government's hostile environment policy. Presented by the Law Clinic's Asylum Project.
What is home? A place we inherit, a place we choose, or a place that comes to hold so much of our lives that leaving it would mean leaving part of ourselves behind?
Some of us inherit a nationality before we have any idea what a nation is. Others spend years making a life in a country and are still asked to prove that they have a place in it. What, then, makes us citizens? And what are we asking of someone when we ask them to prove that they belong?
Learn more about the difficulties that migrants face in the UK, and the barriers that the UK government put in place that make the country so hostile to those seeking asylum.
