KURDISH LENS

Rojava support screening





NL
Copenhagen Underground presenteert samen met Filmhuis Cavia Kurdish Lens op 14 december. Het is een programma van vier korte documentaires van vier onafhankelijke Koerdische filmmakers, wiens verhalen de Koerdische strijd toont in thematische vormen van verzet en kunst.

De toegang van elke vertoning is op donatiebasis en de totale opbrengst gaat naar de Koerdische Rode Halve Maan, die individuen en families bijstaat met medische hulp en onderdak na de Turkse inval van Rojava en de nog steeds bezig zijnde bezetting, agressie en onderdrukking.

Mocht je niet aanwezig kunnen zijn bij de vertoning, maar wil je de regio Rojava evengoed helpen: je kan hier een donatie maken.
