Together with Medico International, we invite you to the screening of the documentary Tomorrow – The Journey of Maysoon Majidi, followed by a conversation with the film’s protagonist.
Maysoon is a journalist, filmmaker, and human rights activist from Kurdistan-Iran who advocates for the resistance movement in Kurdistan and against violations of fundamental rights in Iran. Forced to flee persecution by the Iranian regime. She arrived in Italy on a small boat together with 77 other passengers and upon her arrival in Crotone, Calabria, she was accused of having helped the boat’s captain during the crossing, criminalized under anti-smuggling laws, and imprisoned for almost a year.
Maysoon’s story is not an isolated one. Under policies aimed at combating migrant smuggling, thousands of people seeking safety have been prosecuted and imprisoned.
Together with Maysoon Majidi, we will discuss about the political persecution in Iran,the perspectives on the Kurdish resistance, and the criminalization of refugees in Europe—as well as the connections between these experiences.
