After a great succes, Humanity House will show the documentary ‘Refugees: Who Needs Them?’ again. This documentary will be shown in cooperation with UNHCR Netherlands, UAF Foundation and EthanFilms.

From Libya to Amersfoort, from Bhutan to Venlo

As the debate on immigration rages across the Netherlands and Europe, the Dutch government invites some refugees in. Five of these invited refugees wonder if the continent that reluctantly accepted them is actually involved in creating the conditions that made them flee in the first place. Refugees: Who Needs Them? is an entertaining, often humorous and ultimately moving film experience on new arrivals from Libya, Ethiopia, China and Bhutan. Are these refugees a danger to our Western culture or, on the contrary, do we need them real bad?

A conversation with …

After the film we will speak with the director, Miles Roston, Fathi Ben Khalifa, President of the World Amazigh Congress and key character in the film, and Rene Bruin director of UNHCR Netherlands. The moderator will be Berend Jonker of UAF.
