Mother City Film Screening and Discussion
Mother City Film Screening and Discussion
A screening of the film Mother City and panel discussion on land and housing in Dublin and Cape Town, presented by Front Line Defenders in partnership with Community Action Tenants Union. Exploring Cape Town's history with Apartheid, the story follows a social movement over a few years fighting for affordable housing to make the city more inclusive for people of colour. The event aims to spark discussion and draw parallels between housing issues and movements in Cape Town and Dublin, and more broadly, Ireland.
