Milla Milla Presents: Football as Collective Dreaming
As part of Diasporic Life Program
On June 25th, The Hague-based collective Milla Milla will screen the film: Green LionsP (2022) at Metro54, highlighting the story of Cameroon’s national football team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.
Directed by visual artist Billy Dosanjh, this documentary explores the lives of the players, and the effect their journey had, and continues to have across the African diaspora.
Alongside the screening, the evening opens up a conversation on how the pitch can become a space of self-determination, and how football culture moves beyond sport to create space for Black solidarity across differences. We look forward to see you there!
This program forms part of Diasporic Life: Black Solidarity/Towards Liberation.
The manifestation is open to view from Thursday–Saturday 12pm–5pm.
