Join anthropologist and author, Susan Thomson, for a screening of Ghost Empire Mauritius-Chagos, a powerful documentary exploring the complex history and ongoing struggles of the Chagos Archipelago and its displaced communities.
The film delves into colonialism, forced evictions, and contested sovereignty in this remote Indian Ocean territory. Thomson will also discuss how colonial sodomy laws continue to impact former colonies like Mauritius and the Chagos Islands, complicating their fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Following the screening, Thomson will lead a Q&A on human rights, resilience, and the ongoing quest for justice and equality.
