Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley is celebrating Refugee Week next week with a fundraising event for local charities working with refugees.

Unless Water is Safer than the Land on Friday, 19th June is described as “a night of films, poetry, performance, and talks, raising awareness and challenging the rhetoric surrounding refugees and people seeking sanctuary in the UK today”.

The event will raise money for Compass Collective, an arts charity supporting young refugees and asylum seekers, and New Citizens Gateway, an organisation which started in Barnet and now supports refugees and asylum seekers across England.

Visit the Phoenix Cinema website to find out more about the event and book tickets.
