UNHCR Roundtable

In the past ten years, thanks to UNHCR’s #IBelong campaign involving many states and other stakeholders across the globe, the world has achieved more towards the goal of ending statelessness than in the preceding decades. Still, millions of people around the world continue to be denied a nationality. They often are not allowed to go to school, see a doctor, get a job, open a bank account, buy a house, or even get married.

In cooperation with Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, the UN Refugee Agency will screen the movie “Wandering, a Rohingya Story” by Canadian directors Mélanie Carrier and Olivier Higgins. The film casts a spotlight on the everyday lives of tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh – the ethnic minority best known in the world as being deprived of the right to have a nationality, the right to belong.

The entry is free of charge. You can get a 0 HUF seat ticket at the cashier desk of Toldi cinema from 24 October.

This event will be in English, Hungarian translation will be available for a limited number of participants.
