Film evening: Border Militarisation

Image
The Freedom shop invites you to: An evening of short films  and discussion on borders, refugees and militarisation. ( Download our 12-page Border Militarisation zine  here .) Donald Trump is talking about it, NATO is sending its frigates and the Dutch want to copy Australia's 'turn back the boats' policy - border enforcement is back with a vengeance and anyone who challenges the legitimacy of barbed wire and armed border guards is getting criminalised.  Come and join us on  Thursday, 26 May 2016, 7pm  at 17 Tory St, Te Aro  Join a discussion on who makes money from the refugee crisis, see what happens when you take food supplies to refugees in France and find out what it looks like when 15,000 refugees are stuck between two borders.
