United Nations: Performance and Private Screening

Extracts from my forthcoming documentary Invisible Picture Show were screened to over 300 delegates at the United Nations in Geneva on 28 Sept in an official event highlighting the effects of immigration detention on children.

The film was accompanied by a performance which I developed in collaboration with a group of ex-detainees from Afghanistan, Brazil, Eritrea and Iraq. The performance featured their testimony of life in detention. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said afterwards that it was the most powerful child participation event at the UN they have ever been part of.
