On Monday 5<sup>th<\/sup> December, Journey to Justice were invited to speak at the 9<sup>th<\/sup> annual Leicester Human Rights Arts and Film Festival (LHRAFF). The sold out event,<em> Freedom Movement: dance, film, poetry<\/em>, was an inspiring evening of creative discussion around themes of refuge, economic injustice and youth engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening featured poet and novelist, Rod Duncan, who introduced and read his reverse poem (read from top to bottom and bottom to top) \u2018But one Country\u2019 that responds to how those seeking refuge are received in Europe. This was followed by a dance-interpretation of the poem entitled \u2018Our Home\u2019 performed by Moving Together Youth.&nbsp; Our Economic Injustice project coordinator, Abi Rhodes, then introduced the trailer to our new film, \u2018The Long Shadow of Class\u2019, which had also inspired the performers to create a short piece called \u2018Equity and Equality\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"612\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8448 colorbox-8445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival.jpg 612w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-164x164.jpg 164w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/leicester_human_rights_arts_and_film_festival-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It was a pleasure to be part of such a galvanising event which provided a space for the young performers to explore important themes with creativity.
