The arrival of thousands of refugees coming to Europe after leaving their homes, fleeing from fear and war, is confronting European authorities with the reality of a tragedy of astronomical dimensions.
For this reason, the Three Cultures Foundation would like to devote its October Cinema on Tuesdays cycle to films that address the issue of refugees, small stories capable of stirring consciences and mobilizing efforts against injustice. This issue has been dealt with in the big screen on numerous occasions, especially in countries such as France. As part of this cycle, every Tuesday we will be accompanied by a member of an NGO (like CEAR, ACCEM, Sevilla Acoge…) who will provide us with a brief explanation about their work with refugees before the screening of the movie.
