- Wednesday 6th of October 18.45-20.30, Moots Court Room: Screening of Moving to Mars: a Million Miles from Burma.
Speaker: Karen Katz, Producer of Moving to Mars
Q&A
Burma is home to 47 million people, but their lives are brutally controlled by a dictatorial military regime. Since the military-backed Burma Socialist Programme Party took control in 1962, the freedom and human rights of Burma’s people have been severely compromised. Moving to Mars follows two refugee families from Burma over the course of a year that will change their lives completely.

The Moot Court is in Bentham House, located at Endsleigh Gardens: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/faculty/index.shtml?laws_map
