The Accidental Activist

Talk and Q&A. “Two years ago, Margate resident Kavel Rafferty took Samim Bigzad, a young Afghan asylum seeker, into her home. Rafferty will tell us the story of how he became friends with her cat and how they were all dragged into a battle and a media storm with the Home Office and Amber Rudd.” An event supported and part of Margate Film Festival
