Child Migrant Voices: An evening of films, readings, music and discussion

Almost half the displaced people today are under 18 yet their voices are rarely heard. Watch short films The House That is Not There about the return of a child soldier, Henry Bran to El Salvador, and Ugwumpiti about Maurice Nwokeji who survived bombs and hunger in the Biafra War, Nigeria. Hear about Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain - Oral Histories 1930s - Present Day from author Eithne Nightingale and listen to readings by Fatim Nikoulare who fled Guinea to escape FGM and forced marriage and Maurice who will also perform reggae music inspired by his experience of war.

Followed by discussion, refreshments and book signings.
