Chilean – Basque Film exploring the lives of Migrant Women: Irish Premiere in University College Cork
From University College Cork colleagues Cliona Maher and Ceire Broderick:
As part of a UNIC VIP project we developed with colleagues in UDeusto and a local partner NGO Cine invisible – KCDONGD, who support fabulous documentaries from around the globe to make invisible stories visible and inspire audiences to rewrite scripts and seek positive change. We have been exploring using film to enrich both formal and non-formal curricula and build global citizenship.
We are delighted to invite all interested to the Premiere of a wonderful documentary, following the lives of a group of Migrant Women based in the Basque Country.
See trailer: ALDARRIAK TRAILER 2 on Vimeo

Date: Wednesday 29th October @ 4pm Ireland / 5pm CET
Venue: Shtepps, the Hub, University College Cork
UNIC partners and others can also join us virtually via TEAMS and join the conversation.
