The hidden face of migration processes in Europe

Comillas Solidaria, NoNameKitchen and the Chair of Refugees and Forced Migrants organised a film forum on the occasion of Social Justice Day, in which they screened the documentary Shadow Game, a film that shows the shadows of the migratory process of minors crossing Europe.

The screening, which was an initiative of some students from the VUELA volunteer programme, took place both on the Cantoblanco campus and in Alberto Aguilera, with a great success of attendance: 70 people, including students, PAS, PDI and the general public, came to watch the film and listen to the reflections of the speakers who participated in the subsequent round table.

Specifically, the colloquium was attended by the researchers of the Chair of Refugees and Forced Migrants, Isabel Linares and Raquel Verdasco; the alumni of International Relations, Bachelor in Global Communication and specialised in migrations and human rights, Cristina Imaz; the fourth year student of the Degree in Nursing at Comillas, Irene Moreno; the second year student of the DUal Degree in International Relations + Bachelor in Global Communication (RRII-COM) at Comillas, Sara Robles; the student of the Master's Degree in International Development Cooperation at the University Institute of Studies on Migration, Irene Sánchez, and Hakim El-Khaoudari, Moroccan philosopher, who offered his testimony as a migrant minor.

Shadow Game (2021) is a documentary directed by Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel, which has won awards at several festivals, including the International Film Festival And Forum On Human Rights.
