LEAVING TO REMAIN
Odchádzania
Leaving to Remain is a film with three protagonists: Ondrej Olah, Denisa Ganon and Peter Toták. They represent a generation of Roma children who emigrated to the United Kingdom in the 1990s and at the beginning of the new millennium. They were given chances in England that they were denied in their native lands – Slovakia and the Czech Republic – and now they are educated and confident Europeans. However, Brexit and the global pandemic have intervened in their lives. We observe the consequences very closely, through the eyes of the film’s protagonists.
The screening will be followed by discussion with its director Mira Erdevički.
