A movie screening and round-table discussion organized by the Center for Policy Studies (CPS) and the Human Rights Initiative (HRSI):

NO COUNTRY FOR THE POOR

What if democracy fails citizens by not serving them all equally? What if inequality becomes the norm and the most vulnerable citizens are left behind with no money, no home, no rights, and no country of their own? No Country for the Poor is a documentary film about a community of
homeless and middle class activists fighting for social justice, democracy and solidarity in Hungary. The movie focuses on the work of The City is for All (A Város Mindenkié), a Hungarian NGO advocating for an adequate housing policy with decision makers.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with:

  • Laszlo Bihari // Director and Budapest based journalist and filmmaker
  • Tibor Magyari // Activist for the The City is for All (AVM)
  • Janos Pap // Activist for the The City is for All (AVM)

Moderator: Noémi Katona // Institute of Sociology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
