New Living Ghosts films out

The excellent short film used by campaigners across the country titled "Welcome" has been updated with an inspiring call to action.

The Camcorder Guerillas film "Welcome" (21 minutes), which has been used by CAP campaigners across the UK to raise awareness of the plight of people refused asylum. It tells the story of three homeless refugees who have become 'Living Ghosts'. "My life is frozen", says a Zimbabwean maths teacher who's been living "underground" since being evicted from his flat. "I'm existing, but it's not a life. I don't think people know we are being chucked on the street, or they would not allow it to happen."

The new "Taking Action" is a 9-minute guide what you can do to make a difference - both practically and in campaigning. It also includes an Action Pack you can print out.

We have obtained a bulk supply to help grassroots campaigners support the Living Ghosts campaign. Please consider getting the film to show to yourself, church group, MP, or campaign group. The DVD compilation includes all 5 asylum films from the Camcorder Guerillas.

To order a copy of either at the discounted price of £5 including postage please ring the office on 0161 2369321.
