Hide AdImmerse yourself in the powerful narratives of ‘Name Me Lawand’ , ‘Hostile’, and ‘Into The Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport’ which documents the journey of Jewish Children liberated from concentration camps during WWII.
This film will be particularly resonant with the local area with many children settling close by in the Lake District. Strong Jewish Community ties to the area very
much remain because of this.
All of these films not only illuminate personal stories of refugees but also foster understanding and empathy, giving people the opportunity to learn and engage in a warm and welcoming space.
There will be lots on offer for families also with a fun selection of non-verbal family films, including Shorts For Wee Ones, Short For Wee Ones and Shaun The Sheep adventures.
