Join Sheffield Transformed on Refugee Week 2026 for a screening of A World Not Ours (2014) at 7.30pm on Thursday 18th June, at the Broomhall Centre.
All profits from this event will be donated to City of Sanctuary Sheffield to help fund their work supporting people seeking sanctuary.
Directed by Mahdi Fleifel, A World Not Ours is an intimate, humorous, portrait of three generations of exile in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon.
Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a sensitive, and illuminating study of belonging, friendship, and family. Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than just a family portrait; it is an attempt to record what is being forgotten, and mark what should not be erased from collective memory.
As part of Refugee Week 2026, the film screening is free but we would ask that you book a ticket to help us manage numbers and consider making a donation. Suggested donation: £7
We will be joined by speakers from City of Sanctuary Sheffield and Action Against Detention and Deportations to tell us about their 'Break up the Border' weekend of action.
