Barriers

During a time when barriers were being erected around Dublin to stop refugee camps from building up, with this activism we were speaking to the like-minded, silent-majority of people who were angry about the degradation of refugees in a country with one of the largest diaspora globally. We wanted to show them that their anger can be channelled positively through the actions of the Irish Refugee Council. It was important that the film used to promote the message online, embodied that anger with immigration punk anthem “Danny Nedelko” from Idles. And it was imperative that it was produced as sustainably as possible, crafting the message by reusing the tents and tarps as provided to and taken away from refugees in a seemingly unending cycle.
