#2 Short Film: The Neighbours’ Window

🆕 Once a month on a boring Wednesday evening Afandi English will bring you a short film for some mid-week entertainment.

▶️ There’s a saying that goes “The grass is always greener on the other side” – people always desire what they don’t have but don’t realise what good things they already do have. Watch this short film for a good example of this.

#4 Short Film: Schwarzfahrer

▶️ This short film about racism is a classic. In German, the word “Schwarzfahrer” refers to a person who uses public transport without paying, but it literally means “black rider”. When in Germany, do not expect to find racist people like the old lady – it’s just a film!
