The idea:
To do our bit for Refugee Week’s Simple Acts campaign we want to invite everyone to watch a film about refugees and get involved online. We’ll all watch the film in our own venues (probably our living rooms) at the same time and then discuss it on Twitter and Facebook as we go along.
The plan:
1. Help us choose a film. We’ve narrowed it down to The Kite Runner, The Visitor and Dirty Pretty Things based on suggestions from Amnesty UK’s online communities. If you want to vote then send us an @amnestyuk reply on Twitter or leave a response on Facebook
2. On Wednesday we’ll announce your winner. To take part you will need to find your own copy of the film. Buy it, rent it, borrow it or watch it online. We don’t mind how you get it, but for this to work the film is an essential part.
3. Monday, 22nd June 8:30PM. Get your copy of the film, stock up on snacks and get comfy. Press play when we say go.
4. Enjoy and discuss the film as we go along on Twitter using the hashtag #goodfilmclub or on our Facebook discussion board
5. Remember that the reason for this is Refugee Week, find out what else you can do here. Lastly, if you enjoy it, let us know and we’ll make it a regular thing!
A quick note:
If all this sounds very familiar then we should probably own up and thank Bad Movie Club and the wonderful Graham Linehan for being our inspiration.
