Open Air Cinema 2016: migration

A summer evening, plenty of drinks & snacks and a must-see movie or documentary film: come enjoy our Open Air Cinema in The Hague this summer!

Humanity House’s cozy backyard opens to give you cinematographic insights in people on the move. Beautiful, frightful, harsh or happy: what do the lives of people look like after they’ve made the big decision to go elsewhere? How do they relate to the new and unfamiliar environment – and to the policies that are often trying to stop them? Dreaming of a better place or escaping from a dangerous one, just arrived or stuck: take your chance to visit our open air film screenings in The Hague and open your mind to migration in all its forms.
