Tower Hamlets Trades Council, with the Genesis Cinema, presents:
Resisting the Far Right: a season of films about the dangers of right-wing extremism.
Far-right and nationalist politics are on the rise. Immigrants and minorities are being scapegoated like they were in the 1930s.
Tower Hamlets has a rich tradition of opposing racism and intolerance, from the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, to more recent community opposition to far-right extremism.
This season presents different cinematic representations of how bigotry can play out in society.
Each film will be accompanied by speakers, Q & A and discussion.
