<p>We will be showing two very recent documentaries:</p>
<p>My name is Kevin (2009) 15 mns</p>
<p>An intimate portrait of Kevin, a man who has experienced homelessness for the last twenty-four years but is determined to "remain on this earth as a noble human being. It is a personal reflection on his migration and his experience of being an outsider, not having a Birth certificate, ID card, valid passport, National Insurance number or any one to turn to.</p>
<p>Filmed, Edited and Directed by Olga Lidia Saavedra Montes de Oca</p>
<p><br />A Broken Promise (2007) 23 mns</p>
<p>In 2002 the British government introduced a new scheme to attract highly skilled people to the UK. Professionals with post-graduate qualifications were invited from across the world. Almost 50,000 people came but then suddenly the government changed the rules, meaning that many of those who made their homes here were faced with deportation. Refusing to accept what they believe to be an illegal change in law, these migrants have taken on the British government through the high courts. This is their story.</p>
<p>Directed by Rosa Rogers (http://rosarogers.co.uk/)<br />Produced by Hugh Hartford</p>
<p>A Banyak Films Production for Al Jazeera 2007</p>
<p>Rosa Rogers and Olga Saavedra will be present at the screening to answer questions on their work and share their experiences as documentary makers.</p>
