You are invited to the inaugural screening of the Woodlands Community Anti-Racist Film Club where will be showing the 2020 film, Limbo. Limbo is a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience, set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar, a young Syrian musician who is burdened by his grandfather's oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.

After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The film club aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes.

The screening will take place at Flourish House. This is a wheelchair accessible space. The film will be captioned and some light refreshments will be available.

Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.
