The award-winning campaign film by Sue Clayton
(UK 62 min 2017)
Calais Children: A Case to Answer is an award-winning piece of filmmaking in its own right - moving and memorable.
But more than that it shows how director Sue Clayton brings human rights lawyers to the Jungle camp to insist that the children be brought to the UK.
When the government still refuses, she and her legal team sue the UK Government in the High Court and this film is
their witness statement. A powerful and unique example of filmmaking for legal and political change.
INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS
Calais Children: A Case to Answer is available now in French, Spanish and Italian, and will soon be in German. Contact us for more information.
