Programme
7.00pm - Asylum Realities. a Scottish Refugee Council Film
This film looks at the impact the UK asylum system has on the lives of three people trying to rebuild their lives in Scotland. Produced and directed by Charlotte Cornic for SRC.
7.40pm - Those Left Behind. a new Camcorder Guerillas film. What is it like to teach in a school where pupils simply vanish without trace? How do you feel about losing your best mate at school, something you never thought could happen? What happens when your neighbour of many years disappears over night? This film speaks to some of the people who live in Glasgow's communities where people disappear without warning.
7.55-8.30pm Discussion: for action
Chaired by Camcorder Guerillas. There is talk of an "amnesty" to allow families refused asylum to stay in the UK, but the head of the new Borders and Immigration Agency in Scotland has just announced that he intends to double the amount of dawn raids in Glasgow. This is an open discussion on the issues around seeking asylum, the impact of dawn raids and deportations, and what we can do to resist these attacks on our communities.
