GMB Glasgow General Apex Branch: In This World - Film Screening and Discussion

Torn straight from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling and prescient In This World follows young Afghan Jamal and his older cousin Enayat as they embark on a hazardous overland trip from their refugee camp at Peshawar, north-west Pakistan. Entering Turkey on foot through a snowy, Kurdish-controlled pass, the pair again take their lives into their hands and face suffocation when they are locked in a freight container on a ship bound for Italy. From there they plan to travel on to Paris, and ultimately asylum in London.

The film won the Golden Bear prize at the 2003 Berlin International Film Festival.

In This World is screening as part of a series of activities around the STUC’s St Andrews Day march and rally against racism.

Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion.
