Cecilia’s Story: Film Screening and Call to Action On Immigration Detention

On behalf of Cecilia Mwenda, HEAL Collective and the National Justice Museum, you are warmly invited to the film premiere and Call-to- Action for 'Cecilia's Story: Ghosts of Yarl's Wood' - an East Midlands-based creative advocacy project that sheds light on the injustices embedded within the asylum and immigration detention systems, and calls for change to them.

‘Cecilia’s Story: Ghosts of Yarl’s Wood’ is a documentary film and visual storyboard exhibition running in the Project Lab at the National Justice Museum.

Co-created by Cecilia Mwenda with HEAL Collective, the project mobilises Cecilia’s personal story of unlawful detention in Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre as a powerful call to action on the need for change to the asylum and immigration detention systems.

You are warmly invited to the premiere of the 60-minute documentary film ‘Cecilia’s Story’, followed by a panel discussion with Cecilia, HEAL Collective’s directors and others who call for change to the asylum and immigration detention systems.

Join us to celebrate this inaugural project for HEAL Collective, and to find out ways you can respond to Cecilia’s Call to Action.

Advance booking is essential as places are limited.

Please note: the film contains content some might find distressing and is recommended for age 12+.
