THE FILM:
A young couple fleeing South Sudan seek asylum in England, yet not all is well as they face bigotry from their neighbours, and an evil force lurking within the walls of their assigned housing. Co-written by and feature film directoral debut of Remi Weekes, His House is a harrowing exploration of the migrant experience in England's hostile environment.
The BBFC page - linked to in WPC's linktree - contains a short content description.
MORE ABOUT Thousand for £1000:
Thousand for £1000 is a Brighton-based charity, whose primary purpose is providing housing and support to unhoused migrants through pooling together small monthly donations.
The Home Office has suddenly announced that they will be closing the Brighton asylum seeker hotel this month (October). Hotel residents are families and single women who have built lives in Brighton and will be scattered away from the city. Including to towns where far right racists are attacking refugees.
Please contact Thousand for £1000 if you have a spare room and ask about how hosting works to keep our friends and neighbours in Brighton
More information can be found on their website, where you can also donate or get in touch about volunteering or hosting - and which is also linked in WPC's linktree.
Accommodations:
This screening will feature dim lighting, intervals during which we will hold discussion groups run by volunteers, and a volunteer outside the venue holding space for people who need to step out for a bit.
