About this Event
Tobacco Slave is a first-of-its-kind film exposing the plight of tobacco farmers in Malawi and letting them share, in their words, what a life of growing tobacco is really like.
Join University of Bath filmmakers Roy Maconachie, Professor of Natural Resources and Development, and Simon Wharf for a screening of this award-winning film.
Following the screening, we invite you to participate in a discussion that explores the practices of global tobacco companies and how they have a disturbing resemblance to colonial-era exploitation in Africa.

- Dr Pankhuri Agarwal, Research Associate (School of Management, University of Bath)
- Phil Chamberlain, Deputy Director (Tobacco Control Research Group, University of Bath)
