"'NA WA Festival' is a ten day event from June 13th 2011 to June 22nd 2011 to raise awareness about the reality of exploited African migrants in Europe. Since Nollywood[nigerian Film industry], being the third largest film industry in the world has successfully addicted and influenced the orientation of her audience through home videos and movies, our festival will use films/home videos to gain the attention of the Nigerian audience especially vulnerable groups and policy makers. Aimed at preserving the dignity of the Nigerian youth and promoting regular and safe migration, the festival provides a platform to debate the issue of human trafficking and smuggling as a form of irregular migration. In collaboration with NAPTIP, a minimum of six European countries[Austria, Belgiun, France, Germany, United Kingdom and Switzerland], UNODC, UNGIFT and IOM, the Austrian based civil society organisation EXIT, we will show a series of film screenings, book reading, panel discussion and networking reception in the following Nigerian states: ABUJA, LAGOS and EDO.
