Rewriting stories of migration

5 years ago Ablejam

Refugee filmmaker Hassan Akkad and restaurateur Asma Khan discuss their separate paths for combatting social injustice.

Asma Khan, the first British chef to feature on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Chef’s Table, uses her restaurant Darjeeling Express as a social enterprise to elevate those working behind the scenes in the food industry and beyond.

Syrian refugee and photographer Hassan Akkad documented his crossing in 2015 as part of a BAFTA-winning BBC series called Exodus: Our Journey to Europe. As an activist, he has been outspoken on issues of inequality – from Black Lives Matter to the need to respect health service support staff.

Together they discuss how they use their tools – food and a camera lens – to combat injustice.
