Speaker:Okepne Ojang

Venues:Green Room

Description: 

This film follows a band of refugee Congolese musicians in Cape Town who are evicted from their home one week before a countrywide xenophobic violence displaced 30,000 refugees.
These films will form the basis for a discussion on xenophobia, the fear for strangers and discrimination towards others which marginalized people in every society experience, with a close look at how this manifests itself in Ugandan society.
