Join the Oxford Living Wage Campaign and Oxford Migrant Solidarity for a screening of "El Peso de la Manta," a documentary about the migrants who struggle to survive in the streets of Barcelona by selling wares on the street. Victims of relentless racism, persecuted by the police, and silent for many years, these migrants came together to form a union and make three simple demands: more understanding, more awareness, more dignity.
