Name Me Lawand
Film Screening
FILM
Thursday 6 November 2025
With Stories & Supper and Waltham Forest Migrant Action.
Five-year-old Lawand is on a quest to find a world where there are people like him. Having undertaken a treacherous journey with his family from Iraq to Derby, Lawand, who has been profoundly deaf since birth, soon finds his new life under threat when the family face deportation.
Join Stories & Supper and Waltham Forest Migrant Action for a joint screening of this powerful and inspirational documentary, which shows the importance of finding a place where you belong.
We will also be showing ‘Caring Together Against the Hostile Environment’ – a beautiful short film about a recent collaborative project exploring networks of care for refugees and asylum seekers in London and beyond.
An event co-hosted by our community residents Stories & Supper, and Waltham Forest Migrant Action.
