Film screening ‘hold on to her’ with debate – 17 May 2025 – De Cinema, Antwerp
In hold on to her, we follow a people’s tribunal—organized by both undocumented and documented resident activists—that demands accountability for the murder of two-year-old Mawda Shawri in 2018, a case of police and state violence tied to migration border controls in Belgium.
On May 17th the filmmaker, Robin Vanbesien, will host a debate after the screening, with Henriette Essaumi-Khaullot (Comité des Femmes sans Papiers) and Pascal Gielen (University of Antwerp), moderated by Samira Bendadi (MO* magazine), in collaboration with Filmpact.
