This short film screening brings together researchers, activists, and organisers working on migration in the Netherlands to ask what Dutch migrant justice organisi ng can learn from the UK’s experience confronting surveillance-based immig ration enforcement.

In the Ne therlands, the legal and political terrain around migration is shifting fa st, from updates to migration law and the EU’s deportation regulations, to the deteriorating situation at AZCs and Ter Apel, to the expanding role o f surveillance technology in migration control. Drawing connections to the UK context we want to explore what strategies, tactics, coalitions, and r esearch approaches can travel across borders, and what’s specifically need ed to build and strengthen the movement here.
