Calais’ Children: A Case To Answer
Dir. Sue Clayton, 2017, UK, English/French/German, 62 mins,
Calais Children follows the young people over the months since they left the Jungle. The film speaks to Lord Dubs, the volunteer groups, and the lawyers with whom she is challenging the Home Office’s actions in the High Court. A compelling film that follows the scandal of what happened to the almost 2,000 lone children who were in the Calais jungle as it burned down last year. Most had a legal case to be in the UK. What went wrong? Where are they now? And, what can we do about it?

The Patriot Games by George Galloway,
Dirs. McDonald Brown/Ron McKay, UK, 2018, documentary, UK, English, 27 min.
The Far Right in Britain isn’t just on the march, it is taking violent, murderous action. A neo-Nazi group called National Action applauded the murder and the murderer of a young woman member of the British Parliament, Jo Cox. Other alleged members are charged with plotting the murder of another MP and two British soldiers, said to be from the same group, face serious terrorism charges. Fascism and far-right extremism, street violence and confrontation isn’t new in Britain. It dates back to at least the 1930s, and Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts. Today’s incarnations are no less deadly. George Galloway investigates how it began, how it developed and reveals the major players in the latest mass street movement.
