CWR Film Night for Refugee Week: Limbo

For Refugee Week, we’re holding a Film Night, showing of Limbo, a drama and comedy about the refugee experience.

Thursday 22nd June at 7pm (bar open from 6.30pm) at the Cheltenham Playhouse.

Come and join us to celebrate UK Refugee Week with "this wry, poignant, and bracingly funny ode to the kindness of strangers."

Ben Sharrock’s critically adored Limbo is a poignant cross-cultural satire that subtly sews together the hardship and hope of the refugee experience. Set on a fictional remote Scottish island, it follows a group of new arrivals as they await the results of their asylum claims.

You're invited to stay for a short Q&A to find out more about the situation in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire.

Did you know that asylum seekers are not allowed to work while their claims are being considered? They are keen to use their skills and contribute to our economy. Find out more about the coalition to lift the ban on them working here and sign the petition: https://lifttheban.co.uk/ 

Limbo is rated suitable for viewers age 12 and over.
