Hostile: University of Sanctuary film screening and panel discussion
The University of Reading is running their Refugee Week during the 9th - 13th June, raising awareness of the experiences of refugees. As part of the activities, we will be hosting a film screening and Q+A panel with a diverse set of voices.
The film that will be screened is Hostile, an award-winning feature-length documentary written, produced and directed by BAFTA and three-time BIFA-longlisted filmmaker Sonita Gale. It focuses on the UK’s complicated relationship with its migrant communities.
The event is free and open to all to attend.
The screening will take place in Edith Morley, Van Emden lecture theatre.
The University first signed the Reading City of Sanctuary pledge in 2017 and established a University of Sanctuary working group in 2020. The working group was set up to coordinate the work across the University and develop initiatives that align with the three core principles of the University of Sanctuary scheme: learn, embed, and share.
