Fogo Island Film is an annual series organized by Fogo Island Arts devoted to international films that consider the diversity of relationships between nature and society. This year's theme is Resistance and Resilience, featuring the following events: Friday November 22nd 6:30-9:00 pm Island of the Hungry Ghosts: On an isolated island in the Indian Ocean, land crabs migrate in their millions from the jungle to the sea. The same jungle hides a high-security Australian detention centre where thousands of asylum seekers have been locked away indefinitely. Their only connection to the outside world is trauma counsellor Poh Lin Lee. Island of the Hungry Ghosts is a hybrid documentary that moves between the natural migration and the chaotic and tragic migration of the humans, which is in constant metamorphoses by the unseen decision-making structures.
