A hard hitting documentary which shows the plight of refugees and migrants in recession hit Athens, Into The Fire is a film with a difference. Watch Trailer.

In times of severe austerity things look bleak for Greek people, and for those newly arrived. Without housing, legal papers or support, migrants in Greece are faced with increasing and often violent racism at the hands of the growing Nazi party Golden Dawn and the police in Athens. Many are trapped by EU laws and legislation of other EU countries meaning they’d be returned to Greece if they managed to get to another member state, they are desperate to leave the country.

This film gives incredible insights to the reality faced by people who simply want to lead peaceful, normal lives.

We will be joined by Ismail, who is featured in the film, & Clare Hurst from Newcastle Law Centre, for a discussion. We hope the issues raised in the film will inspire ideas for some practical & political actions to take in support of similar struggles in the North East.
