Refugee Week Screening: No Pride in Detention

No Pride in Detention

Rainbow Migration, 2022, 10 mins

LGBTQIA+ people come to the UK fleeing persecution. But instead of finding safety here, some are locked up in detention centres where they face LGBTQIA-phobic bullying, harassment and abuse. No Pride in Detention (2022) was created by Rainbow Migration, with LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers in Liverpool City Region. 

The short film will be followed by a panel discussion, which will include detailed accounts of lived experience as an asylum seeker in the UK. 

Speakers:

• Jared (Many Hearts One Heart Member)

• Emma Webb (Campaigns Manager, Rainbow Migration)

• Arthur Britney Joestar (Moderator, Heart of Glass)
