Mother’s Cry, a short creative video by Emmy-winning filmmaker, Lisa Russell, uses the power of the spoken word as its storytelling device. Featuring renowned youth poet, Savon Bartley, who cleverly weaves together creative metaphors comparing the demise of our Mother Earth to the struggles of women facing domestic violence, neglect, chaos and loneliness, the video juxtaposes images of our planet set to the emotional connection we have with a critical relationship we can all relate to – our mothers.

Deforestation and illegality, with a special focus on land grabbing. Investments on infra structure like roads, dams, railways are opening space for the advance of activities that condemn the forest to disappear. If deforested land is worth more in the market, trees become a problem (land grabbing is responsible for 1/4 of the anual deforestation rate and illegality blocks the arrival of good business in the region)

Documentary, 87 mins, India | Film screening: 3 May, 15:30-17:00 | Trailer
Children in India have taken their lives into their own hands. They don’t want to tolerate social grievances as well as environmental pollution any longer. They have been founding children parliaments and electing their own ministers in order to stand up for their rights. They are not only changing their own lives for the better, but also those of their communities. The film takes the perspective of the children to tell us about the challenges they have to face in a society that expects them to follow the example of adults. We will see how these children have opted to take a new path – with determination, courage and creativity.

Short film, 3.40 mins | Film screening: 4 May, 10:00-10:30
‘W.A.D.E.’ is inspired by Professor Sue Clayton’s ground-breaking documentary film ‘Calais Children: A Case to Answer’, which follows the scandal of what happened to the almost 2000 lone children who were in the Calais Jungle as it burned down in 2016 – most of whom had a legal case to be in the UK. ‘Calais Children’ recently served as evidence in the High Court for a Judicial Review case against the Home Office.
Joining forces to campaign for change, ‘W.A.D.E.’ sees the collaboration of Voice of Aiko with filmmakers Sue Clayton and Enya Belak Gupta, Arts Council England and leading refugee charities. Working with these partner charities, the ‘W.A.D.E.’ campaign includes a series of workshops across the UK with Let’s All Create, creating uplifting art with refugee children, families and mothers with babies.
