As a follow-up to our film screening last week, here are links to the films we showed: The Valley Rebels Migrants: Unaccompanied minors stranded in Paris Cisarua refugee school (Indonesia) Also worth watching is this clip titled The real State of Emergency about refugees sleeping rough in Paris. A good read about a radical critique of borders and a grassoots response to the refugee crisis is Harsha Walia's book Undoing Border Imperialism, available at the Freedom Shop. We also have a small pamphlet on the increasing militarisation of borders, which can be downloaded here .
