Game of Thrones star speaks out against 'horrendous' treatment of refugees | World news | The Guardian

'Game of Thrones actor Lena Headey, who is starring in one of the first British films to grapple with the refugee crisis, has spoken out against the “horrendous and dehumanising” way that people seeking safety in the UK are treated. '

'Headey said she noted how in the wake of events such as Brexit, conversations about the refugee crisis had begun to dwindle, and said that had been a motivating factor in her getting involved in the film. '

'The Flood sees Headey play British immigration officer Wendy, who is presiding over the fate of Eritrean refugee Haile, whose journey escaping from the war-torn African country to the Calais camp and eventually to England is traced in the film. '

'This film is about the horrors of what is happening every day to the refugees coming to Europe, and how appalling and frightening it is to sit by while it goes on.”She added: “I hope it will provoke similar kinds of conversations. '

'And we’re dehumanising them.”While there have been several critically acclaimed documentaries that have followed the plights of the hundreds of thousands fleeing the Middle East and Africa, barely any feature films on the issue have made it into production. '
