Exclusive Film Screening of BBC's ‘The Homecoming’ with Panel Discussion

Join us on Tuesday 26th November for an exclusive screening of The Homecoming, a powerful new documentary from BBC Africa Eye that delves into the thought-provoking phenomenon of "reverse migration" — a journey from Europe back to Africa. Set against a backdrop of rising nationalism, social tensions, and police violence in France, this film follows young French people of African descent as they make their way to Senegal in search of a new start, echoing a journey that is, in many ways, the opposite of their parents.

This documentary illuminates the challenges and triumphs they encounter in building a life in Africa while exploring profound themes of belonging, identity, and the evolving ties between Africa and its diaspora.

This special event, in partnership with BBC World Service’s award-winning investigative unit BBC Africa Eye, will also feature a post-screening panel discussion. Engage with the documentary’s producer & reporter, Nour Abida, along with film producers and influential representatives of the African diaspora. Together, they will dive deeper into the themes presented in the film, exploring what it means to bridge worlds, seek belonging, and redefine identity across continents.

Refreshments will be provided by Little Baobab

Film Duration: 47 minutes

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness an intimate portrayal of the modern-day African diaspora’s journey home and engage in a compelling dialogue on cross-cultural identities and migration.
