About this event
Speaker: Dr Ken Fero (Migrant Media, Regent’s) and Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper (UKBLM, QMUL) Winner Mentione Speciale Festival Images du Monde Arabe and the Milano Province Prize 5th Festival of African Cinema With an introduction by director Dr Ken Fero (Migrant Media, Regent’s University) and Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper (UKBLM, QMUL) In France the control, and exploitation, of immigrants is central to the policies of all political parties and although unemployment is a national problem, people despise the young unemployed immigrants. Social discrimination mixes up with racism and brings hell to the housing estates. Fights take place between the police and the youth. Regularly suburbs across France explode into uprisings when young immigrants are killed by the police.
