Is this Sanctuary? A film showing how it feels to sign at the police station

Esam, a Kurdish asylum seeker from Iraq has made this film 'Is this Sanctuary?' about how it feels to go to the police station to sign for the UK border agency. He interviews asylum seekers before and after they sign and also those who support them.

We hope you find this film enlightening and we would like to invite you to join us on to march through Bristol with us on June 29th or to support asylum seekers in your city as part of our national day of action.You can read more about this on the rest of this website.

Please e-mail esam.bristol@mail.com if you would like to have a copy of this film suitable for group screenings or if you would like to invite him to talk about his film.
