From Emigration to Immigration: Migration in Ireland

Please join us for a screening of The Building and Burning of an Irish Refugee Camp, a short film highlighting the growing tensions surrounding immigration to Ireland and the harsh experiences of those arriving to Irish shores. This film tells the story of an emotionally charged conflict between asylum seekers and anti-immigrant protesters in Dublin.

 

The screening will be followed by remarks from the director and an audience Q&A.

Three men seeking asylum in Ireland find themselves on the streets, caught between a restrictive migration policy and an increasingly aggressive far-right movement. Dennis Harvey captures an explosive sequence of events on the streets of Dublin in May 2023.
