The Good Lie (2009)

By Let's movie it!

Overview

Film screening, followed by open discussion. A good opportunity to talk about many relevant issues in a relaxed and informal setting. Free.


Friday 28th November 19.30h: The Good Lie (Philippe Falardeau, 2014)


As with our previous film, this is a fictional story set within a real context.
It tells the story of a group of young Sudanese people trying to flee their country's civil war, looking for better life conditions somewhere else.

The film takes an honest approach to address some issues arising from the refugees phenomenon, such as cultural shock, welcoming and integration of the foreigners. The film emphasises the idea of 'taking responsibility' in various ways.

To facilitate the discussion, we will be joined by a person who works as the Wellbeing, Diversity & Inclusion Officer at the Faculty of Law (RUG).
Join us this special film evening!
